Hi All,
I have implemented Let's Encrypt on a COS Home with mybox.poweredbyclear.com and it works fine. What I would like to do is to add a few subdomains to this but am having no luck. There is not option to add to exiting Lets Encrypt cert from webconfigure. If I try the --expand from cerbot then I get "cerbot does not know how to configure the web server". What am I missing here? Do I need to register a domain to do this? I STW and found several suggestions but am reluctant to implement them as that I don't want to break anything.

    There is no procedure in ClearOS to add subdomains, but it does look like certbot should handle it so I don't see why you are having problems.
    If you want lots of sub-domains, there is no harm in having multiple certificates. The sub-domains don't have to all go on one certificate.

    I have had the weberver up all along. It works fine. I just want to eventually convert to all virtual webservers and have them https. I'll probably just go ahead with the easy route and start over. I was just curious as if there was a procedure in ClearOS.
    Thanks.

    To be honest, I'd take the easy option and delete the certificate and recreate it.

    If you have not configured a default web server you could try adding the --standalone key word. You also have to make sure that incoming port 80 is open. I've just tried it without the --standalone and mine then asks me which vhost I'd like to choose. At this stage I've aborted but I would choose the default flex-80.conf setting. Also try adding "certonly" to the command.

    The ClearO S process is a bit more complicated and normally temporarily shuts your web server down, opens incoming port 80 then runs certbot in --standalone mode then restarts the web server.
