if the instructions from sven1234 don’t help you, maybe THIS will bring you acces to your cloud in https.
But this is not a good solution. To solve the Letsencrypt problem you should update NextcloudPi
Today i was able to optain a new Let’s Encrypt Certificate. I got the following output:
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/nc-hostname-0003/fullchain.pem
Your key file has been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/nc-hostname-0003/privkey.pem
[…]
the path (with “-0003”) actually exists, but unfortunately, ncp.conf contains the wrong path again:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/nc-hostname/fullchain.pem
Looks like you must have several folders with certificates. I added some tweaks to the code to pick the most recent one. Please run sudo ncp-update devel
and try again.
NextcloudPi was successfully updated to v1.40.6
after that I have run Let’s Encrypt again. I got the following output:

the path (with “-0003”) still exists, and ncp.conf contains the wrong path:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/*nc-hostname*/fullchain.pem
after a reboot NCP is not going to start.
Even if i change the path in ncp.conf to the *-0003 folder.
And even if if change the hole path to
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
and
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
that helped last time at least to have access to the web interface.
But now the Web interface wont start no madder what i do. this is a little frustrating
apachectl configtest
alway says something like this:
by the way, /etc/letsencrypt/live/*nc-hostname*-0003/fullchain.pem
exists and nc-hostname-0003 is the only folder. there are no other nc-hostname folders.
thanks for your help, it is very useful. Don’t worry, I’ll help you fix anything that comes up.
I think that your problem should be fixed now, please run
sudo su
ncp-update
source /usr/local/etc/library.sh
set -x
source /usr/local/etc/ncp-templates/nextcloud.conf.sh
set +x
, and share the output. If it looks good (the paths are correct), you can make it permanent with
install_template nextcloud.conf.sh /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf
apache2ctl -k graceful
here is the output.
But honestly, I do not know if it is what we expected. So I have not made it permanent yet.

looking good here!
if this is an existing path I think this is good to go
yes, the path exists.
i assume i should run this now:
install_template nextcloud.conf.sh /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf
apache2ctl -k graceful
But i think i’m doing it wrong…
Output:

When you make certain changes to the configuration of certbot, it will change to a different path and append the “-####” suffix.
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/prevent-0001-xxxx-certificate-suffixes/66802/3
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/certbot-renew-request-saves-certificates-to-0001-to-folder/49654/9
do it like
sudo su
source /usr/local/etc/library.sh
install_template nextcloud.conf.sh /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf
apache2ctl -k graceful
running the commands has worked and after that, everything was just fine. I could reach the web interface, the SSL certificate was ok and so on.
then i tried to run LetsEncrypt again to see what happens.
the SSL certificate has been renewed, but apparently there was again a problem with this.
unfortunately I can not provide an output because the window was empty.
Path in the ncp.conf: /etc/letsencrypt/live/*nc-hostname*/fullchain.pem
After a reboot, NCP was down again
this time writing the “0003” into path helped to start the web interface.
This is ok for me. I can renew the certificate and edit ncp.conf manually every few weeks. There are probably bigger problems out there and i dont want to waste your time. But if you want to find a solution, I will try everything you suggest.
ok, it seems like you have the folder, but without (valid) certs in it?
let’s try a different angle
sudo ncp-update devel
, and run letsencrypt
again. If this works I think it’s way more robust
thanks for the help
/etc/letsencrypt/live/ only contains one folder: nc-hostname-0003 with certs in it.
Should I try again anyway?
yes, please I am trying out a slightly different method
done. here the output

The Apache error log may have more information.
/etc/letsencrypt/live/ now contains 2 folder:
nc-hostname-0003 and nc-hostname-0004, both with certs in it
ncp.conf:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/*nc-hostname*/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/*nc-hostname*/privkey.pem
thanks, and is apache working fine with that config?
After correcting the path for the certificates, apache is working fine, yes.
(at least as far as I can tell ^^)
wait, if your ncp.conf says that, that means that /etc/letsencrypt/live/*nc-hostname*
must exist. Is that not the case?
pi@nextcloudpi:~ $ sudo ls /etc/letsencrypt/live/
*nc-hostname*-0003 *nc-hostname*-0004 README
/etc/letsencrypt/live/*nc-hostname*
does not exist.
sorry, I should have specified, did you run letsencrypt
? the idea of the new fix is that you run letsencrypt
and then we should be forcing the path as /etc/letsencrypt/live/*nc-hostname*
(no -000x).
Still weird that it is in the ncp.conf, since the code checks for existence
