I’m trying to get certs for a newly-purchased actual domain I’ve recently purchased. The domain is GoDaddy but the DNS is provided by DynDNS. There’s a 301 redirect from the GoDaddy domain to the DynDNS host. Certs on the DynDNS host have worked before, so I’m thinking the issue is at the GoDaddy end. Not sure what to do here.
My domain is: jayflix.xyz AND jayflix.homedns.org (301 from jayflix.xyz on GoDaddy to jayflix.homedns.org on dyn.com)
I ran this command: certbox --nginx
— names input: jayflix.xyz,www.jayflix.xyz,jayflix.homedns.org
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator nginx, Installer nginx
