Troubleshooting

Acme.json permission / file not found error

The docker-compose volumes has letencrypt directory, which should auto be created when running docker-compose up -d, if it isn't create a letsencrypt directory

mkdir letsencrypt

In the letsencrypt directory an acme.json file will be created, DO NOT MAKE ONE YOURSELF! Making acme.json in letsencrypt can cause Let's Encrypt certificate generation to fail silently giving the error:

Resolver not found for le

Challenge response required for ACME certificate generation
