You have to point dns to the server before you rebuild on order for it to get the cert

You can rsync over the cert directories from the old server if itā€™s a standard install. There are topics about that.

6

We already pointed but still having issue !

7

what is error 429 from letsencrypt!

8

How to move certificates or any other way to solve??

9

I still see the old site on the url.

You can pull over the ssl and letā€™s encrypt directories. You can search for examples.

10

Please tell the ssl certificates location so i will pull.

11

429 means youā€™ve tried to renew the cert too many times in one week. Leave it a few days and the weekly rate limit will lapse.

if i move /var/Discourse entire folder zip into new server and extract ā€¦ after that ./launcher rebuild app.yml

is it work ??

13

No. But you can add another domain as described at Setting up Letā€™s Encrypt with Multiple Domains. If the be request is for a different set of domains itā€™ll count as a new request. Or you can wait a few days.
