MeuXbox is experiencing issues accessing their Discourse forum after installation on a VULTR 1GB server, suspecting an SSL certificate error. pfaffman requested to check the error log, which MeuXbox provided. Falco explained that the issue is likely due to Let’s Encrypt’s rate limit, which allows only 10 certificates per week, and MeuXbox will have to wait a week to access the forum. However, pfaffman suggested a more complicated solution by setting up Let’s Encrypt with multiple domains to bypass the rate limit, but this requires careful changes to app.yml and DNS config.
my forum forum.meuxbox.com.br
I created the forum for testing several times, maybe it’s an SSL certificate error?
I installed the forum through this tutorial discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub
I get this error, the forum is on VULTR 1GB
What does
tail -f /var/discourse/shared/standalone/logs/var-log/nginx/error.log
show?
You can’t do that willy nilly. Let’s encrypt limits you to 10 certificates a week, so you will have to wait to use this domains on a new install.
to get back to normal I need to wait for 1 week?
That’s the easy solution. A more complicated solution is to do Setting up Let’s Encrypt with Multiple Domains to add another domain to the let’s encrypt request, which will sneak you past the rate limit you hit (since asking for forum.x.com and silly.x.com is a different request. But it requires some careful changes to your app.yml and your DNS config, which is what got you into the trouble that you’re in. If you can wait a week, you can just wait and just rebuild when the time is up.
