Hii
I'm working on a side-project to deploy a matrix/element server for some friends.
For deployment I use the following Ansible-Playbook:
Over the past 2 weeks I have been playing around with the VPS and completely wiped it several times.
(With very little knowledge about Let'sEncrypt, certificates, etc... it just worked ¯\__(ツ)__/¯ )
Now that I'm finally ready to "go live", I get the:
"There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many certificates (5) already issued for this exact set of domains in the last 168 hours: matrix.liber-tee.li: see Rate Limits - Let's Encrypt
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details."
I've read Rate Limits - Let's Encrypt and checked my Domain with crt.sh | liber-tee.li and now have a better understanding of the implications of my novice procedure.
If I'm getting it right, I would've to wait at least 6 days from now. (Which would set me back... well, 6 days)
Is there a way to remove all the old/deleted certificates (VPS got wiped... so no files left) and being able to generate some new ones without having to wait 6 days?
For future projects I'll be cautious to enable the lets_encrypt_staging.
cheers
