@schoen this sounds promising. thank you. just another quick question:
certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/example/ -d www.example.com -d example.com -w /var/www/other -d other.example.net
Will this command create 2 different temporary files in /var/www/example/ and 1 temporary file in /var/www/other, or will it create the same file in all locations?
