Hi,
I’ve been following this guide to set up some basic selfhosted services (video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlcVx-k-02E (text) https://notthebe.ee/blog/easy-ssl-in-homelab-dns01/
I’ve managed to get things working, but DuckDNS (duckdns.org) seems to be unresponsive most of the time. I then tried to register my DNS at FreeDNS (freedns.afraid.org), but the generation of a ssl certificate in Nginx fails. I get the following error message in Nginx:
CommandError: Saving debug log to /tmp/letsencrypt-
log/letsencrypt.log
Some challenges have failed.
Ask for help or search for solutions at
https://community.letsencrypt.org/. See the logfile /tmp/letsencrypt-
log/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

The domain I chose is <my_subdomain>.privatedns.org.
Does anyone know how I can get Nginx to succeed in generating the ssl certificate so I don’t have to start deploying ssl generation myself?
If I have to do it myself any useful resources will be appreciated.
Thanks :)
You must log in or register to comment.
What is in the debug log?
Do you have port 80 to nginx open? Certbot dry run will give you some diagnostics, but that is the most common issue (port 80 being closed).
I also run LE on nginx and afraid DNS.
I have tried on numerous occasions to get freedns.afraid.org to work for me. I would be interested in how you got it going when you do get it all worked out.
