Help

You add to use Docker’s volume in order to get data live more longer than Docker’s machine.

For example:

mkdir -p /Users/username/letsencrypt/etc/letsencrypt
mkdir -p /Users/username/letsencrypt/var/lib/letsencrypt
mkdir -p /Users/username/letsencrypt/var/log/letsencrypt

docker run -it --rm -p 443:443 -p 80:80 --name letsencrypt \
    -v "/Users/username/letsencrypt/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt" \
    -v "/Users/username/letsencrypt/var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt" \
    -v "/Users/username/letsencrypt/var/log/letsencrypt:/var/log/letsencrypt" \
    quay.io/letsencrypt/letsencrypt:latest certonly --authenticator manual \
	--agree-dev-preview --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
	--email username@mydomain.tld --agree-tos --rsa-key-size 4096 \
	--renew-by-default  --domain mycert.mydomain.tld

This way data will remain on your machine under /Users/username/letsencrypt folder.

log folder is useful with --debug and --verbose parameters when trying to understand why something is going wrong.
