Using the --server flag with the certbot client for Let's Encrypt ACME v02
Raw
using-the-server-flag-with-the-certbot-client-for-lets-encrypt-acme-v02.md

Use the --server flag with certbot to direct the client to a specific ACME server.

The Let's Encrypt status site lists their active servers (along with their status, obviously). Prepend the server fqdn with https:// and append /directory to the end for use with the certbot command.

E.g., for ACME v02 (which supports wildcard certs),

certbot certonly --dns-route53 --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --domain "example.com" --domain "*.example.com"
