Error when trying to update Lets Encrypt cert

In 4 days I have to renew my cert, and I run dietpi-letsencrypt to update it manually, and I getting an error.

Thank you as always!

Did you rename your .pem files by any chance?

Can you post the output of
ls -R /etc/letsencrypt/archive/?
(mask your domains if you want)



/etc/letsencrypt/archive/:
domain.ddns.net

/etc/letsencrypt/archive/domain.ddns.net:
cert.pem  chain.pem  fullchain.pem  privkey.pem

I don’t remember if I rename them, because I did some test in the past, but as far I can see I rename them with their original name as it appears…

The names are incorrect, it should be cert1.pem chain1.pem fullchain1.pem privkey1.pem

You can just rename them (at least when they are not symlinks, but I checked my certs and there are actually not symlinks).
to check if they are symlinks, run ls -la inside the folder where the pem files are. On the left you see a notation like -rw-rw-r-- or drwxrwxr-x or similiar for each file. The notation for symlinks start with l (lowercase L),so if there is no l, you are fine to rename them, I guess.

mv chain.pem chain1.pem && mv cert.pem cert1.pem && mv fullchain.pem fullchain1.pem && mv privkey.pem privkey1.pem

It was that, thank you!
