what practical situation do you encounter that DNS isn't an option?
why are you shutting down servers to rotate certificates? a reload should be totally possible!
- closeparen 7y agoI think it refers to stopping the main service so that certbot can bind port 80 during the verification process.
- ohyeshedid 7y agoThe person you're responding to is asking about verification through dns, which is an option that avoids the need for http verification.
- tinus_hn 7y agocertbot can host the verification files on most webservers people would already be running (like Apache and nginx) so this isn’t necessary.
