TLS Certificate Installation
There is a problem with the certificate file: Unsupported PEM object type: CERTIFICATE REQUEST

certbot.errors.MissingCommandlineFlag: You should register before running non-interactively, or provide --agree-tos and --email <email_address> flags.

Can’t create account at letsencrypt because can’t use email. Please advise.

I’ve started receiving these errors too.
Possibly due to @JoshData changing from his custom script to Certbot in the latest MIAB?

With all due respect OP, it is not really necessary to have three threads with the same issue.

Looking thru my bash history the following is a close to what I have attempted to fix the issue. No change.

sudo su -

curl -s https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo bash
cd mailinabox/management/
./ssl_certificates.py
exit
sudo ./ssl_certificates.py
cd
sudo reboot
sudo su -
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
cd mailinabox/management/
sudo ./ssl_certificates.py

i do not see

sudo mailinabox

Hi, I’m having the same issue. Had the problem initially in v0.28, have now upgraded to v0.29 and that didn’t resolve it.
running sudo mailinabox gets me the following:

Primary Hostname: aaaa.aaaa.aa
Public IP Address: xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Public IPv6 Address: xxxx:xxxx:xxx:xxxx::xxxx
Mail-in-a-Box Version: v0.29

Your Mail-in-a-Box is running.

And running management/ssl_certificates.py gets

Provisioning TLS certificates for subdomain1, subdomain2, subdomain3

Anyone have any ideas?

Remove the contents of the /home/user-data/ssl/ directory – CONTENTS ONLY, not the directory itself. Then do sudo mailinabox
