ee site ssl-verify

Completes or retries Let’s Encrypt certificate issuance for a site.

Use it after you’ve added the DNS TXT records that ee site create --ssl=le --wildcard (or ee site update --ssl=le --wildcard) printed, or to retry after a failed HTTP challenge. Run ee site ssl-info example.com --get-dns-records to see the TXT records again.

It only works for sites with --ssl=le. If verification fails, the current certificate and key are kept.

Alias: ee site ssl.

SYNOPSIS

ee site ssl-verify <site-name> [--force]
