NAME
       certbot - certbot script	documentation

	  usage:
	    certbot [SUBCOMMAND] [options] [-d DOMAIN] [-d DOMAIN] ...

	  Certbot can obtain and install HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificates.  By default,
	  it will attempt to use a webserver both for obtaining	and installing the
	  certificate. The most	common SUBCOMMANDS and flags are:

	  obtain, install, and renew certificates:
	      (default)	run   Obtain & install a certificate in	your current webserver
	      certonly	      Obtain or	renew a	certificate, but do not	install	it
	      renew	      Renew all	previously obtained certificates that are near expiry
	      enhance	      Add security enhancements	to your	existing configuration
	     -d	DOMAINS	      Comma-separated list of domains to obtain	a certificate for

	    --apache	      Use the Apache plugin for	authentication & installation
	    --standalone      Run a standalone webserver for authentication
	    --nginx	      Use the Nginx plugin for authentication &	installation
	    --webroot	      Place files in a server's	webroot	folder for authentication
	    --manual	      Obtain certificates interactively, or using shell	script hooks

	     -n		      Run non-interactively
	    --test-cert	      Obtain a test certificate	from a staging server
	    --dry-run	      Test "renew" or "certonly" without saving	any certificates to disk

	  manage certificates:
	      certificates    Display information about	certificates you have from Certbot
	      revoke	      Revoke a certificate (supply --cert-name or --cert-path)
	      delete	      Delete a certificate (supply --cert-name)

	  manage your account:
	      register	      Create an	ACME account
	      unregister      Deactivate an ACME account
	      update_account  Update an	ACME account
	    --agree-tos	      Agree to the ACME	server's Subscriber Agreement
	     -m	EMAIL	      Email address for	important account notifications

	  optional arguments:
	    -h,	--help		  show this help message and exit
	    -c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
				  path to config file (default:	/etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini
				  and ~/.config/letsencrypt/cli.ini)
	    -v,	--verbose	  This flag can	be used	multiple times to incrementally
				  increase the verbosity of output, e.g. -vvv. (default:
				  -2)
	    --max-log-backups MAX_LOG_BACKUPS
				  Specifies the	maximum	number of backup logs that
				  should be kept by Certbot's built in log rotation.
				  Setting this flag to 0 disables log rotation entirely,
				  causing Certbot to always append to the same log file.
				  (default: 1000)
	    -n,	--non-interactive, --noninteractive
				  Run without ever asking for user input. This may
				  require additional command line flags; the client will
				  try to explain which ones are	required if it finds one
				  missing (default: False)
	    --force-interactive	  Force	Certbot	to be interactive even if it detects
				  it's not being run in	a terminal. This flag cannot be
				  used with the	renew subcommand. (default: False)
	    -d DOMAIN, --domains DOMAIN, --domain DOMAIN
				  Domain names to apply. For multiple domains you can
				  use multiple -d flags	or enter a comma separated list
				  of domains as	a parameter. The first domain provided
				  will be the subject CN of the	certificate, and all
				  domains will be Subject Alternative Names on the
				  certificate. The first domain	will also be used in
				  some software	user interfaces	and as the file	paths
				  for the certificate and related material unless
				  otherwise specified or you already have a certificate
				  with the same	name. In the case of a name collision it
				  will append a	number like 0001 to the	file path name.
				  (default: Ask)
	    --eab-kid EAB_KID	  Key Identifier for External Account Binding (default:
				  None)
	    --eab-hmac-key EAB_HMAC_KEY
				  HMAC key for External	Account	Binding	(default: None)
	    --cert-name	CERTNAME  Certificate name to apply. This name is used by
				  Certbot for housekeeping and in file paths; it doesn't
				  affect the content of	the certificate	itself.	To see
				  certificate names, run 'certbot certificates'. When
				  creating a new certificate, specifies	the new
				  certificate's	name. (default:	the first provided
				  domain or the	name of	an existing certificate	on your
				  system for the same domains)
	    --dry-run		  Perform a test run of	the client, obtaining test
				  (invalid) certificates but not saving	them to	disk.
				  This can currently only be used with the 'certonly'
				  and 'renew' subcommands. Note: Although --dry-run
				  tries	to avoid making	any persistent changes on a
				  system, it is	not completely side-effect free: if used
				  with webserver authenticator plugins like apache and
				  nginx, it makes and then reverts temporary config
				  changes in order to obtain test certificates,	and
				  reloads webservers to	deploy and then	roll back those
				  changes. It also calls --pre-hook and	--post-hook
				  commands if they are defined because they may	be
				  necessary to accurately simulate renewal. --deploy-
				  hook commands	are not	called.	(default: False)
	    --debug-challenges	  After	setting	up challenges, wait for	user input
				  before submitting to CA (default: False)
	    --preferred-chain PREFERRED_CHAIN
				  If the CA offers multiple certificate	chains,	prefer
				  the chain with an issuer matching this Subject Common
				  Name.	If no match, the default offered chain will be
				  used.	(default: None)
	    --preferred-challenges PREF_CHALLS
				  A sorted, comma delimited list of the	preferred
				  challenge to use during authorization	with the most
				  preferred challenge listed first (Eg,	"dns" or
				  "http,dns"). Not all plugins support all challenges.
				  See https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#plugins
				  for details. ACME Challenges are versioned, but if you
				  pick "http" rather than "http-01", Certbot will select
				  the latest version automatically. (default: [])
	    --user-agent USER_AGENT
				  Set a	custom user agent string for the client. User
				  agent	strings	allow the CA to	collect	high level
				  statistics about success rates by OS,	plugin and use
				  case,	and to know when to deprecate support for past
				  Python versions and flags. If	you wish to hide this
				  information from the Let's Encrypt server, set this to
				  "". (default:	CertbotACMEClient/1.10.0
				  (certbot(-auto); OS_NAME OS_VERSION) Authenticator/XXX
				  Installer/YYY	(SUBCOMMAND; flags: FLAGS)
				  Py/major.minor.patchlevel). The flags	encoded	in the
				  user agent are: --duplicate, --force-renew, --allow-
				  subset-of-names, -n, and whether any hooks are set.
	    --user-agent-comment USER_AGENT_COMMENT
				  Add a	comment	to the default user agent string. May be
				  used when repackaging	Certbot	or calling it from
				  another tool to allow	additional statistical data to
				  be collected.	Ignored	if --user-agent	is set.
				  (Example: Foo-Wrapper/1.0) (default: None)

	  automation:
	    Flags for automating execution & other tweaks

	    --keep-until-expiring, --keep, --reinstall
				  If the requested certificate matches an existing
				  certificate, always keep the existing	one until it is
				  due for renewal (for the 'run' subcommand this means
				  reinstall the	existing certificate). (default: Ask)
	    --expand		  If an	existing certificate is	a strict subset	of the
				  requested names, always expand and replace it	with the
				  additional names. (default: Ask)
	    --version		  show program's version number	and exit
	    --force-renewal, --renew-by-default
				  If a certificate already exists for the requested
				  domains, renew it now, regardless of whether it is
				  near expiry. (Often --keep-until-expiring is more
				  appropriate).	Also implies --expand. (default: False)
	    --renew-with-new-domains
				  If a certificate already exists for the requested
				  certificate name but does not	match the requested
				  domains, renew it now, regardless of whether it is
				  near expiry. (default: False)
	    --reuse-key		  When renewing, use the same private key as the
				  existing certificate.	(default: False)
	    --allow-subset-of-names
				  When performing domain validation, do	not consider it
				  a failure if authorizations can not be obtained for a
				  strict subset	of the requested domains. This may be
				  useful for allowing renewals for multiple domains to
				  succeed even if some domains no longer point at this
				  system. This option cannot be	used with --csr.
				  (default: False)
	    --agree-tos		  Agree	to the ACME Subscriber Agreement (default: Ask)
	    --duplicate		  Allow	making a certificate lineage that duplicates an
				  existing one (both can be renewed in parallel)
				  (default: False)
	    --os-packages-only	  (certbot-auto	only) install OS package dependencies
				  and then stop	(default: False)
	    --no-self-upgrade	  (certbot-auto	only) prevent the certbot-auto script
				  from upgrading itself	to newer released versions
				  (default: Upgrade automatically)
	    --no-bootstrap	  (certbot-auto	only) prevent the certbot-auto script
				  from installing OS-level dependencies	(default: Prompt
				  to install OS-wide dependencies, but exit if the user
				  says 'No')
	    --no-permissions-check
				  (certbot-auto	only) skip the check on	the file system
				  permissions of the certbot-auto script (default:
				  False)
	    -q,	--quiet		  Silence all output except errors. Useful for
				  automation via cron. Implies --non-interactive.
				  (default: False)

	  security:
	    Security parameters	& server settings

	    --rsa-key-size N	  Size of the RSA key. (default: 2048)
	    --key-type {rsa,ecdsa}
				  Type of generated private key(Only *ONE* per
				  invocation can be provided at	this time) (default:
				  rsa)
	    --elliptic-curve N	  The SECG elliptic curve name to use. Please see RFC
				  8446 for supported values. (default: secp256r1)
	    --must-staple	  Adds the OCSP	Must Staple extension to the
				  certificate. Autoconfigures OCSP Stapling for
				  supported setups (Apache version >= 2.3.3 ). (default:
				  False)
	    --redirect		  Automatically	redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS for
				  the newly authenticated vhost. (default: redirect
				  enabled for install and run, disabled	for enhance)
	    --no-redirect	  Do not automatically redirect	all HTTP traffic to
				  HTTPS	for the	newly authenticated vhost. (default:
				  redirect enabled for install and run,	disabled for
				  enhance)
	    --hsts		  Add the Strict-Transport-Security header to every HTTP
				  response. Forcing browser to always use SSL for the
				  domain. Defends against SSL Stripping. (default: None)
	    --uir		  Add the "Content-Security-Policy: upgrade-insecure-
				  requests" header to every HTTP response. Forcing the
				  browser to use https:// for every http:// resource.
				  (default: None)
	    --staple-ocsp	  Enables OCSP Stapling. A valid OCSP response is
				  stapled to the certificate that the server offers
				  during TLS. (default:	None)
	    --strict-permissions  Require that all configuration files are owned by the
				  current user;	only needed if your config is somewhere
				  unsafe like /tmp/ (default: False)
	    --auto-hsts		  Gradually increasing max-age value for HTTP Strict
				  Transport Security security header (default: False)

	  testing:
	    The	following flags	are meant for testing and integration purposes only.

	    --test-cert, --staging
				  Use the staging server to obtain or revoke test
				  (invalid) certificates; equivalent to	--server
				  https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

				  auto execution on experimental platforms (default:
				  False)
	    --no-verify-ssl	  Disable verification of the ACME server's certificate.
				  (default: False)
	    --http-01-port HTTP01_PORT
				  Port used in the http-01 challenge. This only	affects

				  will still attempt to	connect	on port	80. (default:
				  80)
	    --http-01-address HTTP01_ADDRESS
				  The address the server listens to during http-01
				  challenge. (default: )
	    --https-port HTTPS_PORT

				  Nginx	will listen on after a LE certificate is
				  installed. (default: 443)
	    --break-my-certs	  Be willing to	replace	or renew valid certificates with
				  invalid (testing/staging) certificates (default:
				  False)

				  https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory)

	  manage:
	    Various subcommands	and flags are available	for managing your
	    certificates:

	    certificates	  List certificates managed by Certbot
	    delete		  Clean	up all files related to	a certificate
	    renew		  Renew	all certificates (or one specified with	--cert-
				  name)
	    revoke		  Revoke a certificate specified with --cert-path or
				  --cert-name
	    update_symlinks	  Recreate symlinks in your /etc/letsencrypt/live/
				  directory

	  run:
	    Options for	obtaining & installing certificates

	  certonly:
	    Options for	modifying how a	certificate is obtained

	    --csr CSR		  Path to a Certificate	Signing	Request	(CSR) in DER or
				  PEM format. Currently	--csr only works with the
				  'certonly' subcommand. (default: None)

	  renew:
	    The	'renew'	subcommand will	attempt	to renew all certificates (or more
	    precisely, certificate lineages) you have previously obtained if they are
	    close to expiry, and print a summary of the	results. By default, 'renew'
	    will reuse the options used	to create obtain or most recently successfully
	    renew each certificate lineage. You	can try	it with	`--dry-run` first. For
	    more fine-grained control, you can renew individual	lineages with the
	    `certonly` subcommand. Hooks are available to run commands before and
	    after renewal; see https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#renewal for
	    more information on	these.

	    --pre-hook PRE_HOOK	  Command to be	run in a shell before obtaining	any
				  certificates.	Intended primarily for renewal,	where it
				  can be used to temporarily shut down a webserver that
				  might	conflict with the standalone plugin. This will
				  only be called if a certificate is actually to be
				  obtained/renewed. When renewing several certificates
				  that have identical pre-hooks, only the first	will be
				  executed. (default: None)
	    --post-hook	POST_HOOK
				  Command to be	run in a shell after attempting	to
				  obtain/renew certificates. Can be used to deploy
				  renewed certificates,	or to restart any servers that
				  were stopped by --pre-hook. This is only run if an
				  attempt was made to obtain/renew a certificate. If
				  multiple renewed certificates	have identical post-
				  hooks, only one will be run. (default: None)
	    --deploy-hook DEPLOY_HOOK
				  Command to be	run in a shell once for	each
				  successfully issued certificate. For this command, the
				  shell	variable $RENEWED_LINEAGE will point to	the
				  config live subdirectory (for	example,
				  "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com") containing the
				  new certificates and keys; the shell variable
				  $RENEWED_DOMAINS will	contain	a space-delimited list
				  of renewed certificate domains (for example,
				  "example.com www.example.com"	(default: None)
	    --disable-hook-validation
				  Ordinarily the commands specified for	--pre-
				  hook/--post-hook/--deploy-hook will be checked for
				  validity, to see if the programs being run are in the
				  $PATH, so that mistakes can be caught	early, even when
				  the hooks aren't being run just yet. The validation is
				  rather simplistic and	fails if you use more advanced
				  shell	constructs, so you can use this	switch to
				  disable it. (default:	False)
	    --no-directory-hooks  Disable running executables found in Certbot's hook
				  directories during renewal. (default:	False)
	    --disable-renew-updates
				  Disable automatic updates to your server configuration
				  that would otherwise be done by the selected installer
				  plugin, and triggered	when the user executes "certbot
				  renew", regardless of	if the certificate is renewed.
				  This setting does not	apply to important TLS
				  configuration	updates. (default: False)
	    --no-autorenew	  Disable auto renewal of certificates.	(default: True)

	  certificates:
	    List certificates managed by Certbot

	  delete:
	    Options for	deleting a certificate

	  revoke:
	    Options for	revocation of certificates

	    --reason {unspecified,keycompromise,affiliationchanged,superseded,cessationofoperation}
				  Specify reason for revoking certificate. (default:
				  unspecified)
	    --delete-after-revoke
				  Delete certificates after revoking them, along with
				  all previous and later versions of those certificates.
				  (default: None)
	    --no-delete-after-revoke
				  Do not delete	certificates after revoking them. This
				  option should	be used	with caution because the 'renew'
				  subcommand will attempt to renew undeleted revoked
				  certificates.	(default: None)

	  register:
	    Options for	account	registration

	    --register-unsafely-without-email
				  Specifying this flag enables registering an account
				  with no email	address. This is strongly discouraged,
				  because you will be unable to	receive	notice about
				  impending expiration or revocation of	your
				  certificates or problems with	your Certbot
				  installation that will lead to failure to renew.
				  (default: False)
	    -m EMAIL, --email EMAIL
				  Email	used for registration and recovery contact. Use
				  comma	to register multiple emails, ex:
				  u1@example.com,u2@example.com. (default: Ask).
	    --eff-email		  Share	your e-mail address with EFF (default: None)
	    --no-eff-email	  Don't	share your e-mail address with EFF (default:
				  None)

	  update_account:
	    Options for	account	modification

	  unregister:
	    Options for	account	deactivation.

	    --account ACCOUNT_ID  Account ID to	use (default: None)

	  install:
	    Options for	modifying how a	certificate is deployed

	  rollback:
	    Options for	rolling	back server configuration changes

	    --checkpoints N	  Revert configuration N number	of checkpoints.
				  (default: 1)

	  plugins:
	    Options for	the "plugins" subcommand

	    --init		  Initialize plugins. (default:	False)
	    --prepare		  Initialize and prepare plugins. (default: False)
	    --authenticators	  Limit	to authenticator plugins only. (default: None)
	    --installers	  Limit	to installer plugins only. (default: None)

	  update_symlinks:
	    Recreates certificate and key symlinks in /etc/letsencrypt/live, if	you
	    changed them by hand or edited a renewal configuration file

	  enhance:
	    Helps to harden the	TLS configuration by adding security enhancements to
	    already existing configuration.

	  plugins:
	    Plugin Selection: Certbot client supports an extensible plugins
	    architecture. See 'certbot plugins'	for a list of all installed plugins
	    and	their names. You can force a particular	plugin by setting options

	  manual:
	    Authenticate through manual	configuration or custom	shell scripts. When
	    using shell	scripts, an authenticator script must be provided. The
	    environment	variables available to this script depend on the type of
	    challenge. $CERTBOT_DOMAIN will always contain the domain being
	    authenticated. For HTTP-01 and DNS-01, $CERTBOT_VALIDATION is the
	    validation string, and $CERTBOT_TOKEN is the filename of the resource
	    requested when performing an HTTP-01 challenge. An additional cleanup
	    script can also be provided	and can	use the	additional variable
	    $CERTBOT_AUTH_OUTPUT which contains	the stdout output from the auth
	    script. For	both authenticator and cleanup script, on HTTP-01 and DNS-01
	    challenges,	$CERTBOT_REMAINING_CHALLENGES will be equal to the number of
	    challenges that remain after the current one, and $CERTBOT_ALL_DOMAINS
	    contains a comma-separated list of all domains that	are challenged for the
	    current certificate.

	    --manual-auth-hook MANUAL_AUTH_HOOK
				  Path or command to execute for the authentication
				  script (default: None)
	    --manual-cleanup-hook MANUAL_CLEANUP_HOOK
				  Path or command to execute for the cleanup script
				  (default: None)

	    --nginx-ctl	NGINX_CTL
				  Path to the 'nginx' binary, used for 'configtest' and
				  retrieving nginx version number. (default: nginx)
	    --nginx-sleep-seconds NGINX_SLEEP_SECONDS
				  Number of seconds to wait for	nginx configuration
				  changes to apply when	reloading. (default: 1)

	  null:
	    Null Installer

	  standalone:
	    Spin up a temporary	webserver

	  webroot:
	    Place files	in webroot directory

	    --webroot-path WEBROOT_PATH, -w WEBROOT_PATH
				  public_html /	webroot	path. This can be specified
				  multiple times to handle different domains; each
				  domain will have the webroot path that preceded it.
				  For instance:	`-w /var/www/example -d	example.com -d
				  www.example.com -w /var/www/thing -d thing.net -d
				  m.thing.net` (default: Ask)
	    --webroot-map WEBROOT_MAP
				  JSON dictionary mapping domains to webroot paths; this
				  implies -d for each entry. You may need to escape this
				  from your shell. E.g.: --webroot-map
				  '{"eg1.is,m.eg1.is":"/www/eg1/", "eg2.is":"/www/eg2"}'
				  This option is merged	with, but takes	precedence over,
				  -w / -d entries. At present, if you put webroot-map in
				  a config file, it needs to be	on a single line, like:
				  webroot-map =	{"example.com":"/var/www"}. (default:
				  {})
