Description

Checklist

What is troubling you?

Currently using nginx reverse proxy and have been using the command line to manually renew the SSL every 3 months using DNS challenge at google domain registrar.

  1. After moving to NPM, i'm unable to get letsencrypt to work with manual DNS challenge. I don't see an option in the gui.
    Letsencrypt gui in NPM throws an 'Internal Error' without any information.

  2. How can i move the current LE SSL certs from the nginx to NPM without having to reissue?
