NextCloud failed woith creating a certificate

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. https://crt.sh/?q=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: manfred.dnsuser.de

I ran this command: in ncp-config I try to get the certificate

It produced this output: T

My web server is (include version): Apache 2

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: at home

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): using like described before ncp-config

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

I can reach my site via 443 and 80.
My problem is: I had this certificate on a machone that crashed and now I want to create that certificate for this new nextcloud installation on that new machine.
If I try to do that, I get a timeout message, but as described before, the website is reachable with a self-signed certifcate.
Any idea?

Best regards
Manfred

Hi @MoodyMammoth

that looks simple. Checking your domain - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=manfred.dnsuser.de

You have ipv4 and ipv6 addresses:

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
manfred.dnsuser.de A 31.19.31.54 Aurich/Lower Saxony/Germany (DE) - Vodafone Kabel Deutschland No Hostname found yes 1 0
AAAA 2a02:8109:0:19:4d7:3924:a9e9:a6eb Frankfurt am Main/Hesse/Germany (DE) - Vodafone Kabel Deutschland yes
www.manfred.dnsuser.de A 31.19.31.54 Aurich/Lower Saxony/Germany (DE) - Vodafone Kabel Deutschland No Hostname found yes 1 0
AAAA 2a02:8109:0:19:4d7:3924:a9e9:a6eb Frankfurt am Main/Hesse/Germany (DE) - Vodafone Kabel Deutschland yes

Your ipv4 works. Your ipv6 has a timeout.

Checking your domain Letsencrypt prefers ipv6, so that's critical.

  • Remove your AAAA entry (or)
  • fix your ipv6, so ipv6 works

Then recheck your domain to see, if there is no timeout. If yes, try it again.
