I’ve done more than one installation, let’s encrypt, I’m stuck on the speed limit, how can I get around this, it’s very difficult to wait four or five days.
I completed the installation, the installation wizard does not appear, I cannot connect to the site. I installed the main domain

The discussion revolves around the speed limit issue with Let’s Encrypt. Ahmed26 is having trouble, stuck on the speed limit after installing Let’s Encrypt, and cannot connect to the site. pfaffman suggests using a different subdomain, such as www, to bypass the rate limit. Jagster notes that the most common reason for hitting rate limits is likely bad DNS records, but this may not be the case here unless a reverse proxy is in use. pfaffman agrees with Jagster and adds that the issue could be due to a specific setup where localhost can connect to the server via the hostname, but others cannot.
If you’ve hit the let’s encrypt rate limit, the easiest solution is to use a different subdomain. If you installed on the bare domain, then you should first use www. It’s what’s recommended anyway
Are you running discourse-setup? It tries a test that should keep you from requesting a certificate when it cannot be issued.
Off topic, but…
Really? That’s great. Every system should use it automatically, including certbot itself.
I reckon the most common reason for hitting rate limits is bad DNS-record. Outside Discourse-world (including docker in generally?) is virtual hosts, that don’t allow cerbot finding web-root. But that can’t be situation now, unless there is a reverse proxy in use.
Me too.
Right. And if it’s a reverse proxy, then it is responsible for https termination.
But it could be some setup in which localhost is allowed to connect to the server via the hostname but no one else is. Or DNS locally returns the right address or the Real DNS does not. Or they could bypass the test because it’s so annoying that it won’t let them proceed.
