I am looking for a simple solution to start a squid-like proxy server that supports username/password authentication.
It should be able to tunnel HTTPS requests using CONNECT.
A docker-based solution is
docker run --rm -it -p 3128:8080 mitmproxy/mitmproxy mitmdump --set proxyauth=user:pass
The --ignore-hosts option also enables TLS pass-through for stuff like mTLS and certificates not signed by a trusted root (i.e. via. mkcert or self-signed).
Is it possible to tell certbot not to email me every day when running on cronjob?
My cronjob is:
0 0 * * * sudo /usr/bin/certbot renew --post-hook "sudo service nginx reload"
And I get emails:
Cert not yet due for renewal
I only want to get emailed when a certificate is up for renewal, failed to renew, or has been renewed.
I don't need to be notified daily that there is nothing to renew.
According to the Certbot user guide, if you only wanted to be informed of renewal failures then you could add the --quiet option to your command:
certbot renew --quiet --post-hook "sudo service nginx reload"
If you only want to suppress this one particular message then you could modify your command to use grep to discard the message, something like:
certbot renew --post-hook "sudo service nginx reload" | grep -v "not yet due for renewal"
As far as I know certbot never sends any emails, it's just a command line utility. It's letsencrypt.org who sends certificate expiration notice. But it only sends email when the certificate is about to expire for a domain whose certificate was procured using your email (by --email flag of certbot).
I assume there is some other custom service or script which is sending this email.
I am unable to connect to EC2 (CentOs) from my MacBook. When I connect it from ubuntu machine, it will be connected. Currently, I got the following the following error:
ec2 ssh sign_and_send_pubkey: no mutual signature supported Account locked due to 290 failed logins
How can I solve the problem?
I have tried the following command:
ssh -i key.pem ec2-user#ip
I was locked out and couldn't access the machine to enter in the suggested answer's change to ssh config.
I added the following argument to the ssh call -o PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa and it worked.
Example:
ssh -i "keypair.cer" -o PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa ec2-user#ip
Note: the ssh call will accept both .cer and .pem filetypes.
edit or create the file ~/.ssh/config and add the following content:
Host *
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-dss
After that, try again.
The full error message I'm getting is:
Attempting to renew cert from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/somedomain.com.conf produced an unexpected error: Problem binding to port 443: Could not bind to IPv4 or IPv6.. Skipping.
This is running on an AWS ubuntu 14.04 instance. All ports are open outgoing and 443 is open incoming.
You just need to stop all running servers like Apache, nginx or OpenShift before doing this.
Stop Nginx
sudo systemctl stop nginx
Stop Apache2
sudo systemctl stop apache2
you probably run the script with (preconfigurated) --standalone when your server is already running at port 443.
You can stop server before renew and start them after.
man says:
--apache Use the Apache plugin for authentication & installation
--standalone Run a standalone webserver for authentication
--nginx Use the Nginx plugin for authentication & installation
--webroot Place files in a server's webroot folder for authentication
--manual Obtain certificates interactively, or using shell script hooks
If I run renew with --apache I can't get any error.
As hinted in the other answers, you need to pass the option for your running webserver, for example:
Without webserver param:
sudo certbot renew
Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing...
Renewing an existing certificate

Attempting to renew cert (example.com) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/example.com.conf produced an unexpected

new certificate deployed with reload of nginx server; fullchain is
/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
Congratulations, all renewals succeeded. The following certs have been
renewed: /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem (success)
[This is specifically for ubuntu]
Login as root user to your server
Stop your server using the following command (for nginx)
service nginx stop
Then renew your certificate
certbot renew
Start your server
service nginx start
[TIP] To check the expiry date of your renewed certificate, enter the command below
ssl-cert-check -c [Path_to_your_certificate]/fullchain.pem
For example
ssl-cert-check -c /etc/letsencrypt/live/[your_domain_name]/fullchain.pem
Or
ssl-cert-check -c /etc/letsencrypt/live/[your_domain_name]/cert.pem
If you don't have ssl-cert-check already installed in your server, install it using
apt install ssl-cert-check
Note: The certificate can be renewed only if it is not expired. If it is expired, you have to create new one.
For NodeJS/PM2 users
I was using PM2 for my NodeJS service and when trying to renew the certificate I also got the "Problem binding to port 80: Could not bind to IPv4 or IPv6." error message.
As mentioned in above answers for Apache/Ngnix, Stopping my service and then trying to renew solved the problem.
pm2 stop all
sudo certbot renew
pm2 start all
First you need to install NGiNX lets encrypt plugin (if you work with NGiNX):
sudo apt install python-certbot-nginx
Then you can safely run:
sudo certbot renew --nginx
and it will work.
Note: certbot should already be installed.
For ngnix
sudo certbot renew --nginx
This happened because you used --standalone. The purpose of that option is to launch a temporary webserver because you don't have one running.
Next time use the --webroot method, and you'll be able to use your already running nginx server.
Borrowing from #JKLIR Simply run
/etc/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto renew --apache >> /var/log/letsencrypt/renew.log
to renew the ssl certificate
If you're trying to perform the certbot command as a regular user, you may not have access to bind to port 80 and other lower ports. If this is the case, you can grant python access to bind via:
First, see if you can find python 3+ (adjust as needed)
echo "$(readlink -f "$(which python3)")"
Allow python to open port 80 as a regular user (adjust as needed)
sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip "$(readlink -f "$(which python3)")"
Re-run the failing certbot command.
Important: On Ubuntu 18.04, Python is called python3. It may be called a number of different things depending on the OS and how you obtained certbot. This command WILL VARY between OSs.
Warning: These lower ports are restricted for good reason. There are security considerations with the setcap command. You may read more about them here: https://superuser.com/a/892391
I use Nginx and needed to stop the server before I can proceed. Then I run the command:
$ sudo ./certbot-auto certonly --standalone -d chaklader.ddns.net

Your key file has been saved at:

Your cert will expire on 2045-01-10. To obtain a new or tweaked
version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto

I had a similar issue when I was running two websites (hosts) on a single instance. I stopped Nginx and then ran sudo certbot certonly --standalone --preferred-challenges http -d domain.com -d www.domain.com. After restarting Nginx everything started to work fine.
I'm having some kind of authentication issue when trying to launch server instances in EC2 with the knife command.
I'm using a command like:
knife ec2 server create --availability-zone us-east-1d --node-name ES-test --flavor t1.micro --image ami-fd20ad94 --identity-file something-dev.pem --ssh-user ubuntu -r 'recipe[something-elasticsearch::default]'
And there are 2 points of failure. The first comes relatively early on.

Failed to authenticate ubuntu - trying password auth
Enter your password:
I should be able to authenticate as Ubuntu with no password here. In fact, if I allow the provisioning to continue and try to ssh to the generated instance with something like:
ssh -i something-dev.pem ubuntu#10.0.0.43
...it will work. So why is the knife command itself failing to authenticate?
I had the same problem as above and tried the ssh-add as suggested by Rico above. Although I still got the prompt for a password, hitting enter on a blank password then allowed the process to continue.
Failing that, the -V verbose output option may give you more insight.
I found this to work well for me.
bundle exec knife ec2 server create -r "role[websphere]" -I ami-cb94868e --flavor m1.small -G default --ssh-user ubuntu -N server01 -S whatever --identity-file .chef/whatever.pem
Also consider that when you download the .pem from AWS, you need to chmod 400 whatever.pem
