Hi,

As I know myVesta generate SSL for hostname automatically.

I found in VestaCP forum to generate SSL to the domain is by using these command:

# v-add-letsencrypt-domain 'admin' domain.com '' 'yes'
# v-update-host-certificate admin domain.com
# echo "UPDATE_HOSTNAME_SSL='yes'" >> /usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf

Are those the correct way?
Because when I do those commands, the SSL cert for the hostname will be missing for a while, but it will be coming back in the next few days (I guess).

What is the better way?

Thanks,
bfcrew

The way is correct, except you already have last line added in vesta.conf

See https://forum.vestacp.com/viewtopic.php ... 53&p=72237

Why you think that SSL will be missing for a while?
It will be active instantly.

Because when I logged in again to the vesta panel it says the SSL is missing for the hostname.
But yeah it'll be back after a while (not instantly as far as I know)

It must be instantly.
Maybe you are not opening myVesta via hostname address, or hostname is different set.

Okay, it's no big deal as long as the SSL is active again :)
Thanks for your superb fast response!

OK I got an error in one of my server, I didn't get root access so I need to use sudo command.

Code: Select all

debian@focus:/usr/$ sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-add-letsencrypt-domain 'admin' domain.com '' 'yes'
debian@focus:/usr/$ sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-update-host-certificate admin domain.com
debian@focus:/usr/$ sudo echo "UPDATE_HOSTNAME_SSL='yes'" >> /usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf
-bash: /usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf: Permission denied
How to fix that permission denied error?

I'm pretty sure you already have UPDATE_HOSTNAME_SSL='yes' in /usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf
Because myVesta add it during installation.
