This is usually the moment when I start deleting stuff and then mess up everything even worst.

backup, before.

or move instead of delete.

Ubuntu can backup?
So, who should I kill? Or delete?

man tar :wink:

tar -cf ~/filename.tar /directory/to/backup

1 Like

Ok so do that tar backup and then

delete:

/etc/cron.d/letsencrypt

and also delete

/opt/certbot-auto

?

you can delete the entire /opt directory, if the only contents are certbot-auto and eff.org (whose contents are certbot only)

but before you might want to run certbot renew --dry-run to see if your non-auto certbot works.

this is another issue. you should probably use another authenticator, --webroot or whatever is proper for your http server (--apache or --nginx, but these also install certificates).

don't forget --dry-run, you are dancing on rate limits.

I have no idea what was all that, but somehow I added --apache and no more red:

so now I delete

/opt

and

/etc/cron.d/letsencrypt

?

yep, but make sure that the config files in /etc/letsencrypt/renewal know to use apache instead of standalone

1 Like

so change

authenticator = standalone

for

authenticator = apache

inside both configuration files?

I think so, yes. It should work. Then check with certbot renew --dry-run to see if it pulls the config from those files.

Yes, but always backup. :smiley:

Ok I thought I back-up but I didn’t and killed the 2 files and folder.

After that run the --dry-run thingy without --apache and still no errors.

Is there a way to check that the certbot will run automatically in the future?

The systemctl list-timers command should tell you when the next run is.

And systemctl status certbot should tell you something more on the last run
