The Let’s Encrypt option in SSL Encryption is missing. I’m not sure if it’s due to my install being Webmin ONLY (no Virtualmin) or some other factor. I’ve installed Certbot manually via the terminal and verified and changed the path in the ACME provider configuration.
Could somebody point me in the right direction please?
Thanks in advance!
What do you mean by missing? Missing where?
Can you show a screenshot of the “Webmin ⇾ Webmin Configuration: SSL Encryption” page?
You have it on the outermost right named “SSL Provider.”
That just means the name doesn’t resolve. You’ve gotta have working DNS.
Max retries error there as well. Let’s Encrypt has a limit of 5 authorization failures
Try this is you still can’t get a certificate.
But it looks ok.
is that IP address in the box the IP address you’re trying to get a let’s encrypt for ? 10.0.0.204 is a reserved IP address I would try to request a certificate using your public IP address
I did use a domain name, not the IP in the picture. I will try that link from stefan1959 when I get home from work.
Oh ok it’s not that then, your issue must be something else. However was that IP address in the box when you requested the certificate?
Nope. Just my domain was in the box. Didn’t get time today to try anything today, so my apologies. Thanks for the continued help!
Sorry for the wait on the update! It’s been a busy week.
I checked my domain on the above links and it appeared to be okay.
After that, I decided to try and use Certbot from the Webmin terminal. It failed, but gave me this error:
certbot the requested apache plugin does not appear to be installed
Long story short, I G00gled how to remedy the error and found this:
Apt update
apt install python3-certbot-apache
After that and a Webmin restart, I tried using the Request Certificate button in SSL Provider and it appears to have worked!
Not sure how long it takes for a SSL certificate to take effect, but I’ll try it tomorrow.
Thank you everyone for your help!!!
Should be immediate
