i don't think this is the same issue as #56678.
or at least what i'm seeing on my server is that the wrong certbot cmd line is generated, which then results in saving the challenge at the wrong path.
this is the mcron that gets generated:
[...]/certbot certonly -n --agree-tos --webroot -w /srv/http/ --cert-name dwim.hu -d dwim.hu --email attila@lendvai.name
and this what worked when i fixed the -w arg:
[...]/certbot certonly -n --agree-tos --webroot -w /srv/http/dwim.hu --cert-name dwim.hu -d dwim.hu --email attila@lendvai.name
i.e. the -w parameter should point to the webroot of the virtual domain, but the guix config structure does not allow setting the webroot for each <certificate-configuration>, only at their parent, i.e. in the <certbot-configuration>.
this all seems to me as if the certbot service code was assuming that the certbot script will append the domain names (specified with -d) to the webroot path, but it does not.
from the certbot log (i.e. challenge is saved at the wrong path):
"Removing /srv/http/.well-known/acme-challenge/[hash]"
the relevant code is from 2018, so certbot's behavior may very well have changed since then:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/gnu/services/certbot.scm?id=c3215d2f9d8fa4b890e3a41ceb4404b76a7c5c49
it seems to me that the webroot field should be moved down into <certificate-configuration>.
am i right? if so i may try to patch this up.

Hello Attila,
I'm starting using certbot on a new Guix System server of mine: I've not
much experience with this Guix service but I'm using certbot on other
machines so I hope I can help here.
Attila Lendvai <attila@lendvai.name> writes:

AFAIU actually #56678 is (was?) caused by a duplicate certbot account:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Please choose an account

on bayfront, probably caused by some "manual" certbot invocation (I'm

Lodo' please: has that issue (#56678) been solved and how?
The problem on berlin (#62491) is (was) due to a failed challenge:

Did you specify a different webroot? The default one defined in
"certbot-configuration" is "/var/www".
This is my certbot service config:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service certbot-service-type
(certbot-configuration
(email "giovanni@biscuolo.net")
(certificates
(list
(certificate-configuration
(domains '("mx01.biscuolo.net")))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is the certbot command that gets generated (and is scheduled in my
mcron):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/gnu/store/x4m56h5qkim0pnvx6vgvp541mrdwdrah-guile-3.0.9/bin/guile --no-auto-compile

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Also, this is the "server" config for the generated nginx configuration:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name mx01.biscuolo.net ;
root /srv/http;
index index.html ;

root /var/www;
}
location / {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
> and this what worked when i fixed the -w arg:
What was the error before you fixed the -w arg?
How was the nginx service configured?
> [...]/certbot certonly -n --agree-tos --webroot -w /srv/http/dwim.hu --cert-name dwim.hu -d dwim.hu --email attila@lendvai.name

No: that webroot is the directory from which to serve the Let’s Encrypt
challenge/response files, it have nothing do do with the webroot of the
corresponding virtual domain served by *another* nginx service (or other
service using the certificate)

AFAIU there is no need to set a certbot webroot for each certificate:
one webroot can serve all the challenge/response files needed for each
certificate, since certbot creates a unique subfolder in /.well-known
for each of them.

Why do you say that challenge is in the wrong path?
It works that way :-)

WDYT?

hi Giovanni,
it's been a long time, i don't remember much anymore.
but let's run a quick assert:
my server is serving multiple virtual domains (dwim.hu and lendvai.name) from completely different webroot directories. that's why i assumed that certbot needs to generate two different certificates for the two domains, and then be able to download them by accessing the same ip address through two separate domain names, and nginx serving the certificates corresponding to the domain name in the request.
did you write your answer with this in mind?
if yes, then i'll need to get back in context to answer properly.

In this thread I'd like to understand what is (was?) the real nature of
the bugs described, I'm just trying to collect more information
I feel we should discuss how the certbot service works in a different
thread, to stay focused on the bug report
If you need further discussion, please feel free to open a new thread on
guix-devel and Cc: me! :-)
Thanks! Gio'

I don't think it was truly resolved. The problem keeps coming and
someone (usually Ludovic) has to manually run some commands get it to
cooperate (IIUC). I've never investigated certbot nor configured such a
setup myself, so I'm not knowledgeable about it.

Bugs like this are very difficult to reproduce and to investigate if we
wait the certs expiration and are forced to find a quick "workaround";
we should force a renewal (via CLI) before the expiration date and share
the logs to see what's happening.
I'd like to help but I'm not a sysadmin on bayfront nor on berlin.
I think this kind "statefulness issues" are affecting other users.
Happy hacking! Gio'

Indeed, that’s part of the problem.
Another example: our cerbot service offers a ‘deploy-hook’, but the
/gnu/store/… file name of that hook gets recorded somewhere in
/etc/letsencrypt and thus becomes invalid once the hook has been GC’d or
the system has been reconfigured.

Yeah, I think anyone running a web server on Guix System gets hit by
this issue. I’m not super knowledgeable about certbot either so I tend
to just hack around to get things to work, which is not great.
