Certbot: Standalone plugin ignores port I asked to be used

Created on 29 Aug 2018  路  3Comments  路  Source: certbot/certbot

If you're having trouble using Certbot and aren't sure you've found a bug or
request for a new feature, please first try asking for help at
https://community.letsencrypt.org/. There is a much larger community there of
people familiar with the project who will be able to more quickly answer your
questions.

My operating system is (include version):

Linux openvpn1.ismyservice.space 4.4.0-134-generic #160-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 14:58:00 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

certbot 0.26.1

I installed Certbot with (certbot-auto, OS package manager, pip, etc):

Ubuntu package maanger

I ran this command and it produced this output:

sudo certbot certonly --standalone --non-interactive  --preferred-challenge http-01 
   --http-01-port 10000 --agree-tos 
   --email [email protected] --domains realtebo.example.com 
   --pre-hook 'sudo service webmin stop' 
   --post-hook 'sudo service webmin start' 
   --staging --dry-run

 Domain: realtebo.example.com
 Type:   connection
 Detail: Fetching
 http://realtebo.example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/DbE18Iyfud0xBRtrfvz-ILifSzqV-7GoV5uRAyuNYRw:
 Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)

Certbot's behavior differed from what I expected because:

  1. Firewall is opened on port 10000. When certbot ends, it restart webmin, that is running on the same port. I can connect to webmin from outside using port 10000 without any problem

  2. See the log in the following point; certbot is starting its standalone webserver on port 10000, and it's ok, but it is using port 80 for the challenge !

Here is a Certbot log showing the issue (if available):

Logs are stored in /var/log/letsencrypt by default. Feel free to redact domains, e-mail and IP addresses as you see fit.

To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the client. If you're using the webroot plugin, you should also verify that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.

This is a well-known, documented, behaviour. It's not a bug. I close.

Hi @realtebo! Thanks for reporting :)

Let's Encrypt, by the ACME protocol, must perform validation over port 80 for the HTTP challenge. --http-01-port can't change which port LE expects to do validation over. As Brad mentions here:

All these flags allow you to do is control which ports Certbot listens on for plugins like standalone. This is useful if you're routing all port 80 traffic to port 8080 for example.

Going to close this issue for now, but feel free to ask me to re-open or create a new one if you find something wrong with Certbot!
