Docker Run -It --Rm --Name Certbot -v --Root-Docker-Composes-Server
You want to run Docker commands to request a wildcard SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt using Certbot and to create or renew a certificate for a specific domain. Here’s a breakdown of the commands and what they do:
Requesting a Wildcard Certificate with Certbot
|
|
docker run
: This command starts a new Docker container.-it
: This flag enables an interactive terminal session.--rm
: This flag removes the container when it exits.--name certbot
: Specifies the name of the container as “certbot.”-v
: This flag mounts volumes from the host to the container. You are mounting the following directories:"/root/docker-composes/server/apache/letsencrypt"
to"/etc/letsencrypt"
inside the container."/var/lib/letsencrypt"
to"/var/lib/letsencrypt"
inside the container."/var/www/html"
to"/var/www/html"
inside the container.
certbot/certbot
: Specifies the Docker image to use, which is the Certbot image.--manual
: Indicates that you want to perform manual DNS challenges to prove domain ownership.--preferred-challenges dns
: Specifies that you prefer DNS challenges for domain verification.certonly
: Instructs Certbot to obtain certificates without installing them.--server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
: Sets the Let’s Encrypt ACME server’s URL for certificate issuance.
Creating/Renewing a Certonly Certificate

certbot certonly
: This command tells Certbot to obtain a certificate without installing it.--webroot

: Specifies the webroot path where Certbot should place challenge files.-d example.com
: Specifies the domain (example.com in this case) for which you want to obtain or renew the certificate.
These commands allow you to request a wildcard SSL certificate and create or renew a standard SSL certificate using Certbot in a Docker container. Make sure to replace “example.com” with your actual domain name when running the second command.
