[Not an issue] Creating Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates for OM server
behind a DynDNS
Hi all,
This email is just to share how I resolved generating Let's Encrypt SSL
Certificates for OM server behind a DynDNS.
If you follow the guide "Installation SSL certificates and Coturn for
OpenMeetings 5.0.0-M4 on Ubuntu 18.04.pd
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENMEETINGS/Tutorials+for+installing+OpenMeetings+and+Tools>f"
and you are running your OM server at home/small-business using DynDNS,
then one step will fail which is generating the Let'sEncrypt Certs.
After 8 hours of searching in the internet, trying different DynDNS
providers and different workarounds, the issue is resolved by tweaking the
command mentioned in the guide as follow:
$ sudo -H ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone -d exemple.com -d
www.exemple.com
# This will create an http-01 challenge and will fail for DynDNS. There are
some workarounds that did not work for me. The easiest workaround is to
change the command to below
$ sudo -H ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --manual -d exemple.com -d
www.exemple.com
# This will require one more step, but it succeeds. It will ask you to
create a token file in
$CATALINA_BASE/webapps/ROOT/.well-known/acme-challenge/. Open a new
terminal window, create the file and insert the token in it, save and then
continue generating the certs, and hopefully, it will success as it did
with me.
