Lost certificate when SD card was wiped

I am working on setting up nextcloudpi on a Raspberry Pi 4. I was having issues with it and ended up wiping the SD card but I never thought to backup the certificate. Now I am getting errors from letsencrypt and can’t proceed.

My domain is: allamancloud.ftp.sh

I ran this command: while running the setup wizard for nextcloudpi, it tries to setup letsencrypt but errors out

It produced this output:
acme.messages.Error: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited :: There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains: allamancloud.ftp.sh: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/

My web server is (include version): Raspbery Pi 4

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Raspbian buster

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: n/a

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): 0.31.0

Hi @cwa90

please check that link.

If you’ve hit a rate limit, we don’t have a way to temporarily reset it. You’ll need to wait until the rate limit expires after a week. We use a sliding window, so if you issued 25 certificates on Monday and 25 more certificates on Friday, you’ll be able to issue again starting Monday.

You have already created 5 identical certificates ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=allamancloud.ftp.sh#ct-logs ):

Where are thes? Why isn't it possible to use one of these?

Then use the test system. To test such things, a not valid test certificate is enough. There is no productive certificate required.

Thank you for the reply, I did not know those certs existed… I had trouble getting nextcloud installed and I guess it did that work in the background. Those, too, would have been wiped when I wiped the SD card, however.
