Virtualmin Letsencrypt Renewal
-
@phenomlab I do. It is in the domains folder under chadjessen.com. I set it up as a subdomain through virtualwin.
@madchatthew that’s odd. Let’s Encrypt is complaining about the lack of
.well-knownwhich is required for activation. Seeing as you created this as a sub domain it should work without issue.Do you have
certbotinstalled at all ? If not, have a look at this and go from step 4Mark Cutting also advises organisations as a Fractional CIO, Fractional CISO and Executive Advisor, helping boards improve technology governance, cyber resilience and executive decision making. Learn more at Phenomlab Ltd

So I installed certbot and went through the steps. It was successful. My publicapi.chadjessen.com is now secured again. I made sure that the auto renewal was set and did a dry run to make sure that everything would go through. I didn’t have to add the ppa like it said in the instructions. I am running Ubuntu 20.04. I just had to run the install part of the program.
It is weird that Virtualmin wouldn’t renew it. I will make sure just to use certbot if I have any other issues with it.
Thanks for your help Mark, I really appreciate it.

@madchatthew no problems Chad. Always happy to help out. I’ve come across this before myself hence the suggestion as it worked for me previously as it did for you. The only gotcha here is that you won’t be able to manage that particular cert through WebMin or VirtualMin in terms of renewal etc - it needs to be done from CLI.

A quick update for anyone reading this thread, and attempting to follow the links. It seems that the PPA has been deprecated, meaning that
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbotwill NOT work.You’ll need to download the .deb files manually from here, then use
sudoi dkpg -i <deb>to installAdditionally, if you’re a Webmin user and are looking for a way to install Certbot there, details for that are here.

@phenomlab Else ye’ can also always opt for some Dehydrated Boulders and be done with it, eh?
Opinionated two bit opinions are my own. Caveat emptor, eh?

@phenomlab Indubitably. I have been using dehydrated since early days of Let’s Encrypt. I favor KISS engineering and Dehydrated is a “simple” shell script. And in so being, also easy to automate via cron jobs. No big mussin’ or fussin’ about with the evil systemd.
Dehydrated has been under +/- continual incremental development since those early days (who’d of thunk it?) and scratches my itches.
My $0.02. Caveat emptor.

@gotwf KISS - now there’s a phrase I’ve not heard for a while… I have a blog article about that I’ll out up soon.
