Live directory exists for mydomain.com, no certs saved, but no error

[guerlando]

I’m having the following error:

letsencrypt_1  | live directory exists for lucaszanella.com

and nothing is being saved there

My domain is: lucaszanella.com

I ran this command: certbot certonly --standalone --non-interactive --agree-tos --email $EMAIL --cert-name $CERT_NAME --domains $DOMAINS

It produced this output:

ps: there’s nothing on the folder it says it’s writing to

Can you post “sudo ls -alR /etc/letsencrypt/{archive,live,renewal}”?

Edit: What’s “letsencrypt_1”?

[guerlando]

it’s a docker image. I’m mapping /etc/letsencrypt to /letsencrypt on the main host. There’s nothing on /letsencrypt, so that’s why I’m confused

[guerlando]

don’t mind, I figured out, I was mapping to the /etc/letsencrypt/lucaszanella_com so it was creating the folder when the docker went up
