So I am trying to setup a HTTPS connection on my newly brough up seafile server. so far it works on sf.mydomain.com:8000 but it’s not HTTPS. Same page opens on mydomain.com for some reason. I used this tutorial: link. I followed Letsencrypt’s guide, untill it asked me for which domains to use. then i got an error, for any of the domains i use, sf.mydomain.com or mydomain.com
Cannot find a VirtualHost matching domain mydomain.com. In order for Certbot to correctly perform the challenge please add a corresponding server_name directive to your nginx configuration: Server names
I tried adding the server name everywhere but nothing worked. I haven’t setup a webserver by myself before, only with tutorials, which end up with some problems due to lack of knowledge. If possible i’d like to have a secure connection over all domains and subdomains. If it matters, the domain is on namecheap and the server is from scaleaway. Below i posted the related nginx files. Any tips welcome. Thanks for reading!
