Webmin integration

Help

Hello

I am in despair.
No matter what I try, I always get the following message.

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: webroot). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: ns1.europlink.ch
Type: unauthorized
Detail: 195.226.14.161: Invalid response from http://ns1.europlink.ch/.well-known/acme-challenge/XcGuXRPXH8wZkLMC8eUfftFZt6LvzpCXYRHwRq9Ru58: 404

Port 80 is forwarded to the machine.
I enter ‘/var/webmin’ as the path

What have I overlooked?

Bye

@Mansaylon , welcome to the community!

Are you sure that the /var/webmin is the webroot? It rather looks like the webmin application root.

Admittedly, I followed instructions from the internet. The directory definitely exists.
How can I find out the webroot from Webmin?

Where do you put your site files?

I do not know webmin. However, if you have shell access to the system, you can check the nginx configuration to figure out the path of the webroot.

Yes, it seems your webmin uses nginx.
Try showing:
nginx -T

I'm not familiar with Webmin, but beware of Docker. Often those things run in Docker. That said, not sure if it's also the case with Webmin.

Yes... Apache is installed... but I don't really need it on this machine. Only Webmin should be secured with Let's Encrypt. Webmin runs with nginx.
And nginx -T show: bash: nginx: command not found ?!?!

That doesn't look like the same system.
What shows?:
curl -4 ifconfig.me

[root@ns1 rwa]# curl -4 ifconfig.me
195.226.14.161[root@ns1 rwa]#

This makes no sense:

  • your curl shows:
    Server: Apache/2.4.57 (AlmaLinux)

  • from my IP, it shows:
    curl -Ii 195.226.14.161
    Server: nginx

What is doing the port forwarding?
Please show that config/setting.

The port-fowarding seems incorrect.

HTTPS fails:

curl -Iik https://195.226.14.161
curl: (35) error:0A000458:SSL routines::tlsv1 unrecognized name

HTTP on port 443 connects:

curl -Iik http://195.226.14.161:443
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Server: nginx

call ist :wink:
ns1.europlink.ch show 'Congratulations! You've successfully startet the Nginx Proxy Manager......

It is from Webmin installation.

I can stop the httpd service and Webmin works OK. But with the Let's Encrypt I still have no luck.

Do I need to open 443 to? Webmin have another Port.

And now this:

I'm out.
Sorry, I have other work to do.

Ah yes, a combination of the unfamiliar Webmin and disliked NPM is a good recipe for "you're on your own" I'm afraid. Not much experience with both of them here on this Community.
