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:
systems.social
I ran this command (I tried both):
sudo certbot renew
sudo certbot --nginx -d systems.social
It produced this output:
aving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
An RSA certificate named systems.social already exists. Do you want to update
its key type to ECDSA?
(U)pdate key type/(K)eep existing key type: U
Renewing an existing certificate for systems.social
Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: systems.social
Type: connection
Detail: 178.21.117.252: Fetching http://systems.social/.well-known/acme-challenge/jXthMPUSgWQhpspLs51Gs8oMOrF4a7XEYZBL6w9HiG0: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)
Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure the listed domains point to this nginx server and that it is accessible from the internet.
Some challenges have failed.
My web server is (include version):
nginx/1.18.0
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Debian GNU/Linux 11
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
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):
No
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you're using Certbot):
Certbot 2.1.0.dev0
I am not able to renew my certificate for my self hosted mastodon instance. I host mastodon in a seperate docker container and use nginx to forward port 443 to the docker container.
I also host other containers on the same VPS behind nginx as a proxy. I do not use ipv6 and have one ip address.
I have tried removing certbot and the nginx validation, and tried reinstallation.
This is the port 80 section in my nginx configuration:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;
server_name systems.social;
root /var/www/html;
location ~ ^/.well-known/acme-challenge/*{
root /var/www/cert-validation/;
}
#location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ { allow all; }
location / { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }
}
What could be my next step?
