Manual certificate renewal

Help
1

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
*.stepahead.org.nz

I ran this command:
sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns --csr /home/roger/CSR.txt
It produced this output:
An unexpected error occurred:
Error finalizing order :: signature algorithm not supported

My web server is (include version):
(not sure)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
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):
certbot 1.32.0

Welcome to the community @roger

If you need to use your own CSR you should review the below topic for the signatures supported.

But, certbot will create a CSR for you. You then specify the domain name(s) on the command line instead of using --csr. Such as:

sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d *.stepahead.org.nz -d stepahead.org.nz

I added the second domain so that specific name is covered. The wildcard only covers names at the * level. You can omit the second -d if you don't use that name explicitly.
