How to force certbot to re-request new certificates for first time?

[st1111th]

I seem to be stuck at requesting the certs. I had some issues to fix but all should be good, however it seems the certs are not being requested.

logs from snikket/snikket-cert-manager:beta

Anacron 2.3 started on 2023-11-17

I tried this:

docker-compose exec snikket_certs su letsencrypt -- -c "certbot renew --config-dir /snikket/letsencrypt --cert-path /etc/ssl/certbot --force-renew

But it doesn't work, is there a different command I should be running? ie not renew, it's the first time getting certs.

Also getting this error when starting:

Will keep trying things

Hey, did you have luck with this? I've not seen those errors before, so it sounds like something has gone weird with your setup. If you need help, I recommend the community chat, links here: https://snikket.org/contact/

Based on the commands you ran, I assume you also saw these docs, but just in case: https://snikket.org/service/help/setup/troubleshooting/#certificate-problems

I think I had some issue with routes,

I progressed past it and the issue resolved itself once I was deploying on a VPS with a public IP.

I'm sure there is a way for this to work behind a NAT, but I was only using it on my local PC for testing before deploying to VPS anyway.

Cheers
