Why does cerbot sucks so much?!?!? My domain is on godaddy. And every renewal the same bsht. Then after many retries sometimes it happens to work. Isn’t a better way to handle this?!?!? LOG: Are you OK with your IP being logged? (Y)es/(N)o: Y Please deploy a DNS TXT record under the name …

Nevermind. I wrote my own script. Thanks.

The answer can be found at Let's Encrypt Certificates on GoDaddy Hosting - Let's Encrypt Instead, GoDaddy offers automated renewal with their own certificates, which are an added-cost feature . If you are manually issuing certificates and are receiving the errors about invalid TXT record, the lik…

It still sucks. Instead of using the same TXT record, letsencrypt should use 2 different records… so I can update them, wait 10 minutes and then renew them. Using the same one adds problems and nothing more. It’s a horrible implementation.

[image] Zibri: letsencrypt should use 2 different records… so I can update them, wait 10 minutes and then renew them I'm not exactly sure what you mean. You should be adding both TXT records to _acme-challenge.zibri.org at the same time. So, when Certbot prompts you, you should end up with …

[image] Zibri: certbot and your servers should do a dns query and the directly ask the domain designed dns for the records and that would work flawlessly every time. That's exactly what Let's Encrypt do, they use unbound for DNS. [image] Zibri: Anyway, just to be clear: certbot should wo…

One thing to add, He can skip the entire GoDaddy DNS problem by switching providers. Use Cloudflare (free, and works nicely with Certbot or Caddy in my configuration) or another service like Route 53 (I have no personal experience with this one) EDIT: To clarify, by switching providers, I mean DN…

Is your domain supposed to have a non-existent home page? I get a 404 when I go there. I use GoDaddy too and usually don’t have any problems certifying 15 different domains manually. I use my own website client instead of certbot. I set the TTL of the TXT records to 600 seconds (the smallest value t…

[image] Zibri: Anyway, just to be clear: certbot should work automatically and from an automatic script. Not needing all this mess. I'm not sure why you're blaiming certbot for this. Certbot can do a lot automatically. Just not everything. If you're missing a specific feature, you could make…
