We’re very excited about LetsEncrypt and the introduction of wildcard certs is a great new feature! We work with tutorial writers from the community for a lot of our content and now offer both a cash payment for tutorial writers as well as matching that payment with a donation to a tech focused charity of the author’s choice.
Hey guys I just created one, so ff you still need that …
- Get certbot greater than 0.23 (I used 0.25 from docker-hub official certbot)
- Mount /etc/letsencrypt dir [Only for docker]
- Run
certbot certonly --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --agree-tos --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d 'DOMAIN,*.DOMAIN' - You’ll be asked to agree about public IP
- Certbot will ask you to put TXT dns registries in your DNS. In webroot (for simple domains you have to put a file in your nginx/apache server, but now for wildcards you have to really put TXT dns. like:
Type | hostname | token | TTLTXT | _acme-challenge.DOMAIN |90lOhB2V......wqY | 1- You have to wait a few seconds (and test with
$ nslookup -q=txt _acme-challenge.DOMAIN) - Then you just hit enter a few times and you will get your cert :D
- Enjoy
I hope that micro-guide can help you =) Cheers
