Let's Encrypt - https certificate made easy

[rejetto]

after many hours of work, we got an easier way to get a certificate from Let's Encrypt

available since 0.48.0

I have my domain locally overwritten in hosts file to 127.0.0.1, can you think of something for that case?

[rejetto]

that happens because i'm asking the operating system to resolve the domain.
my solution is: i'm going to query 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, and if they don't answer i will fallback to the OS.

Hi...

Q: will the certificate automaticly be updated after three months?...

Kind regards,

[rejetto]

not yet, but I think I will introduce such feature

How to use this feature with duckdns.org?

[rejetto]

there's no difference with duckdns, you enter your domain where it says "domain for certificate"

[kran27]

would be nice if acme.cert could save as either .cer, .crt, or .pem, to be compatible with other software. this way hfs would spit out a valid cert for something like qBittorrent's WebUI, currently I have to use certbot.

[rejetto]

your suggestion is good and i will do it,
but please notice that you already have 2 possible solutions without waiting for my change.

solution A: select the file with qbittorrent. You'll have to force the selection interface, yes, but then it will work

solution B: you can decide the name in hfs. Just go in Admin-panel > options, and change the name here

Hi,
I'm having trouble generating an SSL certificate. I keep getting an error that says "port 80 is not working on the specified domain," even though the port is open. I can connect to my server via the internet using port 80. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Additional information:

I have checked that the firewall is not blocking port 80.
I have tried restarting the server.

[rejetto]

that error is about HFS using an external server (currently located in France) to test yours.
What did you do to verify that your server is working over the internet in http?

If this test of mine proves to be unreliable, I can consider proceeding with the request anyway, and eventually provide the same error if the certiticate attempt fails.

[rejetto]

i've now fixed a bug that will make the same error appear even in the case the port was NOT really tested.
I can produce for you a preview version if you are willing to test it. If yes, tell me your operating system.

[elllectrum]

Thank you for the response!
I access my server over the internet, including through port 80, so there shouldn't be any issues with server availability on that port. Yes, you can provide me with a preliminary version. Windows 10 pro x64

@rejetto , Just coming back to this piece of software. I self certified, but was wondering how to get the actual certificate using duckdns. My "normal" website is AAA.NORMAL.COM. I'm running HFS off of my computer at AAA.DUCKDNS.ORG. It will not allow me to create a "Let's Encrypt" certificate which would be wonderful. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated

show me a screenshot of your problem
