Hello,

Could you please confirm whether Let’s Encrypt under dietpi-launcher \> dietpi-letsencrypt

> **[DietPi.com Docs - System Security Software Options](https://dietpi.com/docs/software/system_security/#lets-encrypt)**
>
> Description of DietPi software options related to SSL and security

is able to create a wildcard certificate (via DNS-01 challenge)? That is, given

```auto
earth.solarsystem.com
*.earth.solarsystem.com

```

have a certificate created that would work for `earth.solarsystem.com` and any other subdomain under `*.earth.solarsystem.com`

nope this is not possible using our tool. Maybe you can have a look to [How to create a Let's Encrypt Wildcard Certificate - Avanet](https://www.avanet.com/en/kb/how-to-create-a-lets-encrypt-wildcard-certificate/)
