Just a random guess here, but is the domain proxied by any change? Maybe try disabling the proxy when renewing the certificate.

#1146

I'm pretty sure they aren't, as this issue is about using the HTTP challenge. So any issues with DNS challenges most likely have nothing to do with this issue.

This is happening to me as well, using the http challenge. I'm going to see if I can debug this a bit further tonight.

I updates mine too, and it didnt solve the Problem. Today i was able to renew 1 Cert then the Error displayed again.

For Updating it depands on your Setup. If you habe a docker-compose file, just enter the Directory and run

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

Yeah same issues for the past 6 months.
You need to remove the let's encrypt folder and redo it.

I don't know why, cause log say that the request could not be made but if i go on the HTTP Challenge URL i can access it shortly.

You need to pull and check your docker.compose if the version is not hard coded.

Has anyone figured out how to fix this? I'm having the same issue i.e. I cannot get new certificates or renew certificates using lets encrypt. This was working and now appears to be broken. I tried deleting the lets encrypt folder but had to restore it as NPM failed to start.

Thanks for the response @chaptergy. I have ports 443 and 80 directed from the router to the NPM container. I'm not using DNS challenge.

Here is log from /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Looks like I can't access the internet from the container. The DNS server for the container is 127.0.0.11 which I understand is correct?

Any ideas?

<!-- gh-comment-id:1017617934 --> @ChrisParsons commented on GitHub (Jan 20, 2022): Thanks for the response @chaptergy. I have ports 443 and 80 directed from the router to the NPM container. I'm not using DNS challenge. Here is log from /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log Looks like I can't access the internet from the container. The DNS server for the container is 127.0.0.11 which I understand is correct?

@ChrisParsons commented on GitHub (Jan 21, 2022):

Resolved my issue. I don't think it was related to the NPM container but rather my docker config. I don't know exactly what was wrong. Restarting the docker service didn't seem to help but restarting the server on which docker runs seemed to fix it.
