I'm trying to generate a certificate in my local (MacBook) environment which I can package in my Docker image and deploy into my AWS environment via Kubernetes.
I've scoured sources online for a solution to this but I'm unable to find the details I need.
From my macbook:
sudo certbot certonly -a standalone -d my.domainGives me this error:
Failed authorization procedure. my.domain (http-01): urn:acme:error:unauthorized ::
The client lacks sufficient authorization :: Invalid response from
http://my.domain/.well-known/acme-challenge/T8jtGQswRuMgHKIhGvb-
QD73kytTZnHfH5mK5lEZUJc: "{"timestamp":"2018-04-22T22:33:40.845+0000","status":404,
"error":"Not Found","message":"No message available","path":"/.well-kno"Clearly, I need a way to prove that I own my own domain. How can I do this locally?
In order to verify ownership of the domain from your macbook you have these two options as stated in the certbot docs:
While the standalone option does not require web server software it does require that it is run on the target web server - it is therefore not what you need to do and will result in the failure reported in your question.
