Keitaro: How to Connect Domains

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Follow the standard instructions.

Don’t forget to disable the forced HTTPS redirect!

This is normal:

Because certificates are now managed by PF, and Keitaro cannot issue them. Simply use the domains as usual.

Troubleshooting: Certificates Not Generating

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

You will be notified about any service issues almost immediately. If you have not received a notification, everything is working as expected. Now, to the point.

Quick Check#

Any domain in the service responds to certificate generation service pings at the following address:

http://<domain>/.well-known/acme-challenge/ping it should respond with pong

This can be used for a quick check that the domain is configured correctly.

Node#

Check node availability.

To do this, simply open the node’s IP in a browser.
