Hey there,
I’m trying to create a wildcard SSL cert for lumbergeek.ca & *.lumbergeek.ca. Cert creation fails because of an inaccurate txt record.
If I only create the certificate for *.lumbergeek.ca it creates, but doesn’t verify. If I create the certificate for woody.lumbergeek.ca, it creates but doesn’t verify. Both fail because of the wrong txt record.
My domain is: lumbergeek.ca
I ran this command:
sudo certbot certonly --dns-digitalocean --dns-digitalocean-credentials ~/.do-token-certbot.ini --dns-digitalocean-propagation-seconds 60 -d lumbergeek.ca -d *.lumbergeek.ca
It produced this output:

secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
making regular backups of this folder is ideal. -
