I'm at a loss again guys.. I have moved DNS duties to cloudflare and assigned records of my FQDN (via A name records). The server has a static IP address on LAN. My router is port forwarding 80, 443, 8080, and 2022 to the reserved IP. I STILL cannot generate certs with certbot. plz halp
what method are you using for certbot?

I used the script that Clyde linked to in my previous question thread
I had similar issues before I (wiped OS &) tried the script, using the ptero tut
I'm on mobile give me a sec to grab the exact command and opts
you doing the TXT record thing that certbot usually asks for?
Giant pandaOP
When running the script, it literally only asks for the FQDN

hmm. okay. lemme find your old post and look at the script that clyde linked.
This is the command that I used. It will ask you to add a TXT record to your domain's DNS records, which can take a bit of time, but once it's done, it's foolproof.

and you can use that website to test for when TXT record propagation has occurred
so you know when to proceed.
the script will eventually provide you with the TXT record value, and then tell you to wait until it's propagated.

OK, I will try and report back. Thank you!
no sweat! good luck!

Just barely hit enter after verifying and rec'd orders to report to dinner 🫡 BBL to test!
While I'm AFK.. do you know how long that cert will be good for?
@Giant panda While I'm AFK.. do you know how long that cert will be good for?

I think I broke nginx when I ran:
sudo certbot --nginx
when trying to get it to work earlier 🤦♂️
Giant pandaOP
