Turn off auto-renew for Lets Encrypt SSL certificates

Support and Discussion
1

Hi, I ran over the shot-term limit for requesting SSL certs for my site and mail server. Lets Encrypt have blocked me from making requests for at least 7 days, unfortunately, the auto-renew SSL certifications feature in CyberPanel keeps resetting that timer as it requests certs every morning,

As you can probably tell, I’m really new to setting up a VPS and need a little hand holding. Would really appreciate it if someone could let me know what to do, and possibly put up with some really mundane follow questions if I struggle to follow even basic instructions.

Appreciations and apologies in advance.

You can try: from ssh

EDITOR=nano crontab -e
Comment out the line with acme.sh by putting a # in from of it, then save
to save it’s ctrl+o then hit enter

That should disable acme cron from running.
Note It should disable for all sites

Apologies for the months late reply. This whole project was put on the back burner, but I’m back on it now and still facing issues. I’ll start a new thread as it’s a bit more complicated than I originally thought. I just wanted to say thanks for the reply and the support.

Can we disable this cronjob for a specific site?

I’m unsure of how to do that currently.
You can try checking acme docs to see if you find anything.

Write whether it worked for you please

It didn’t work for me yet. Disabling the cronjob will disable it for all sites.

add ssl from the menu manually, this should disable letsencrypt
