Noel, LE does not insist on certbot. They recommend it, and why wouldn't they? :)
Use acme.sh instead if you are not able adhere to the requirements of Certbot. Acme.sh requires nothing but sh. Also, it seems like you did not properly read about ways to address the problems you mention. Instead of having a webserver you could do DNS validation. Acme.sh already supports a ton of DNS implementations: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/tree/master/dnsapi - and if yours is not there, it's easy to write an implementation. -- Frands Bjerring Hansen Zitcom A/S - zitcom.dk From: mailop <mailop-boun...@mailop.org> on behalf of Noel Butler <noel.but...@ausics.net> Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2018 4:29 AM To: mailop@mailop.org Subject: Re: [mailop] Expires SSL cert for mailop On 27/10/2018 04:40, Thomas Walter wrote: Hey Mark, On 26.10.18 17:34, Mark Milhollan wrote: Let's Encrypt changes little, processes can break whether they are yearly, bi-yearly or monthly.

Let's Encrypt automates the whole process and in case that doesn't work for whatever reason it sends you reminders by mail way before the certificate finally expires. If the main process and the backup reminder both fail, you are doing something wrong ;). Regards, Thomas Walter Problem with letsencrypt is their preferred and insisted " certbot " - does not run (easily at least) on all flavours.. I gave up with it on slackware which is what my servers run, tried using Crypt::LE and voila instant success, it was painless to use even for (tested at least) renews, although it requires a working webserver so come time to replace my comodo's on my MX's, will give me another challenge :) -- Kind Regards, Noel Butler This Email, including any attachments, may contain legally privileged information, therefore remains confidential and subject to copyright protected under international law.
