Generating LetsEncrypt Fails

[kevingordon_74118]

Hey folks! Im trying to generate a Lets Encrypt cert

I got the Cloudflare integration done, but when I generate the Lets Encrypt cert, I see a dialog box flash, then close. When I look at the job history, there is nothing useful. I’'d post a screenshot, but I can’t?

My end goal is to setup TrueNAS + Nextcloud to act as a personal file server, photo storage, and all that stuff - but of course, nothing these days works properly without an SSL, and I’m too cheap to buy one.

…and these days, there’s no reason you should. It’s a known bug, set to be fixed in SCALE, but probably never will be in CORE. See:

Unable to request a certificate via the Truenas UI

TrueNAS Scale community edition: v25.04.1 UPDATE: For anyone affected by this, I’ve found that this issue has been identified and fixed in v25.10: NAS-136223 / 25.10 / Fix ACME registration failures due to removed contact field support (by sonicaj) by bugclerk · Pull Request #16646 · truenas/middleware · GitHub Having done this on my old NAS I though this would take a few minutes to copy the relevant data over and generate a certificate on my new NAS. Sadly not the case. In general I followed…

Certificate setup issue using UI

I just set up my 3rd TN server. I’ve had no issues using the built in tools on the other 2 in order to set up and use LE SSL certs. On this 3rd server when I click save on the CSR I get a box that pops up for about 1/10th second, then goes away. All my settings look correct. What log would I check to try and track down the issue?
