That can't work. Looks like Certbot waits to your input and you don't see it.
If you want to create a wildcard certificate, dns-01 validation is required. So webroot can't work.
How do I fulfill the requirement
Check
Do you really need a wildcard certificate?
You can always use --manual, but you must see the output. Certbot creates a txt entry.
You have to create two DNS TXT entries
_acme-challenge.kingbiscuitblues.com
with two different values. If you have more domain names, one value per domain name.
And normally itâs easier to create one certificate per domain (non-www + www), not one certificate with different main domain names.
sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d *.kingbiscuitblues.com -d kingbiscuitblues.com
certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: certonly --manual
What says
certbot --version
Sorry I solved that last issue before success The --manual option wasnât an unrecognized argument, it was a subargument to --manual that were wrongly syntaxed --preferred-challenges dns should be --preferred-challenges=dns In conclusion, having certbot installed on my server to help with ssl certificates is a big step up from doing it manually
If you want to create a wildcard certificate, you have to use dns-01 validation.
So the --preferred-challenges isnât required.
âchallenge dns-01 ?
