Hello, I’m trying to **renew certificates** for my several domains. I think following command will be correct, but I would like to know which one I should select for “RENEW”

certbot-auto --force-renew -d [www.abc.net](http://www.abc.net) -d [www.abc.com](http://www.abc.com) -d [www.abc.org](http://www.abc.org)

## How would you like to authenticate with the ACME CA?

## 1: Spin up a temporary webserver (standalone) 2: Place files in webroot directory (webroot)

Select the appropriate number [1-2] then [enter] (press ‘c’ to cancel):

Thank you for your support!

Regards,

---

If you cancel that and just use:

`certbot-auto renew`

then it should remember and automatically use the same options as you used when you obtained the certificate originally (including the domain names), and you shouldn’t need any other options.

If that doesn’t work, please share the error output that you get.
