Letsencrypt update error (Ubuntu, Nginx, Node.js)

Question

I inherited the configuration (Ubuntu, Nginx, Node.js, LetsEncrypt), where letencrypt certificates are very close to expiration.

I tried these commands:

./letsencrypt-auto --renew --config /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/domain.conf certonly

./letsencrypt-auto --renew --config /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/domain.conf -d domain.com -d www.domain.com

Both cases received the following answer: letsencrypt: error: uir is a flag but is being set to 'None'

I tried changing it to false or empty, but did not work.

How can I renew LetsEncrypt certificates in this configuration?

Answer 1

Try simply ./letsencrypt-auto renew .

He must read the configuration file himself in /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/domain.conf .
