Migrating certs between VPCs with renew-ability

[sahsanu]

Hello @pkiula,

@pkiula

Now we've upgraded to a CentOS 8 box. All our domains have moved over with a simple rsync, including the /etc/letsencrypt folders, and the /etc/security/ where we had generated the SSL stuff.

Question: is this a good enough way to "move" the certs, or will we have to regenerate the certs on this new server all afresh? Whenn I issue certbot -renew it gives me errors. Hence the question.

If you rsync all the directories with the same perms, same symlinks (this is important) etc. you shouldn't have issues.

I suppose the dash in command certbot -renew is a typo, is it right?

What are the errors you are getting when using certbot renew?

Cheers,
