Hi there,
Have you followed a specific tutorial for setting this up?
Usually, to issue a wildcard Let’s Encrypt SSL you would need to have a wildcard DNS entry for your main domain as follows:
After that, you could try using the
python3-certbot-dns-digitaloceanpackage. You could take a look at the steps on how to complete the rest of the configuration with the DigitalOcean API token here:https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-let-s-encrypt-wildcard-certificates-with-certbot
Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
