Unable to issue certificate from lets encrypt for my domain

[shauryagoel]

I used this config to issue a proper certificate from let's encrypt-

certificate:
  type: lets-encrypt
  acme_email: <MY_EMAIL>
  # acme_server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
  acme_server: https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/director

But this is giving me the following error in traefik pod-

Unable to obtain ACME certificate for domains \"<MY_DOMAIN>\": unable to generate a certificate for the domains [<MY_DOMAIN>]: error: one or more domains had a problem:
[<MY_DOMAIN>] acme: error: 400 :: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:tls :: <IP>: remote error: tls: unrecognized name
" providerName=letsencrypt.acme ACME CA="https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory" routerName=dev-jupyterhub-ca277b77dd23830bef42@kubernetescrd rule="Host(`<MY_DOMAIN>`) && (Path(`/`) || PathPrefix(`/hub`) || PathPrefix(`/user`) || PathPrefix(`/services`))

I tried running it multiple times and with both staging and production server, but, still getting the same error. Can someone help me here to track the issue.

Hey @shauryagoel just to make sure, was this working before with your cluster? In your nebari-config file, just to ensure your domain field is populated, right? Can you also check the status of the traefik pod? I just want to make sure the pod is running. You can do that by executing:

kubectl get pods -n "YOUR NAMESPACE"

There is a site where you can check the cert requests, I will try to find it and share here

[shauryagoel]

I am using the staging environment of lets-encrypt. I don't think I have got a limit reached type of error till now.
I tried this site for debugging the issues https://letsdebug.net/, but, everything was ok. Maybe you are also referring to this site.

[viniciusdc]

Yes that was one of them, but also, to inspect the recurrent domain certificates, you can use https://crt.sh

Without more context about the actual domain and other details about the cluster, it is a bit difficult to try debugging further; the last thing I can suggest that might help grant more light to this issue is to port forward trafficks dashboard for monitoring the ingress routes/middleware, etc.

kubectl port-forward -n dev nebari-traefik-ingress-aaaababababab 9000:9000

you will need to replace the pod name with the actual one from your cluster, looks like this

Unfortunately, crt.sh is showing nothing for my nebari domain. Traefik dashboard looks fine as well (everything is success).
On deleting the traefik pod, the certificate is being re-issued. However, I am now getting Connection refused error-

I have also checked any firewalls in my GCP project, everything is open. I tried this- nmap -p80,443 <DOMAIN>. This also returns that ports are open.
