I don’t think certbot works with Tomcat?

I using certificate for apache. for renew certificate server must be up on 80 or 443 port? actually it is running on 8443.

is it possible to renew certificate without server up on 80 or 443 means standalone?

The http-01 and tls-sni-01 challenges require port 80 or 443, respectively. If that’s not possible, you can look at the dns-01 challenge, but that requires using on of the third party clients. As far as I know, all the bash clients will do DNS challenges.

Osiris thanks for pointing me I successfully apply certificate to tomcat using keystore. but i want know while create standalone certificate it show lot’s of error but certificate is created under /etc/letsencrypt/ directory should i ignore that errors i was got confused while renewing the certificate.
