I have used the Nextcloud and Let’s Encrypt containers, I have namecheap as a dns and the ddns set up in my ASUS Merlin router.
Errors I get are:
Challenge failed for domain
DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for mydomain
No valid IP addresses found for myddns
Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)
Thoughts/Advice?
I’ve got the cname in namecheap, port forwarded in router, config instructions have been followed for nextcloud, adding the overwrite_url stuff.
Looks like the url you are using does not have the correct A record (points to IP) on your dns provider.
Check here to confirm: https://dnschecker.org/
Or maybe you set it, but it didn’t propagate to other servers yet. If that’s the case, I would recommend moving your nameservers to cloudflare because their dns changes propagate almost immediately
Okay so let’s pretend you are talking to a 5 year old that has a working Nextcloud instance.
How do you go about setting up lets encrypt assuming you have a working ddns? I tried following the readme’s but somehow broke connectivity to emby in the process and had to undo everything I’ve done today to get that back to working order. So yeah I went full retard somehow. I just don’t know what did it…
Can your router update your ip on cloudflare? If so, forget the ddns.
Register a free cloudflare account, it will guide you through moving your name servers there. Then you can easily create an A record that points to your home ip, and a CNAME for “*” which is wildcard and have that point to your A record.
Then follow this guide: https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/04/25/letsencrypt-nginx-starter-guide/
So one question, if I have to forward the port on the router, how can I have more than one container set up to use ssl?
I guess I will see once I update Cloudflare. According to the link it still looks like I’m having to use different ports.
Edit. Yup I had to use cloudflare.
