Getting Started After Deploying Free Domain Certbot

After paying for the order, you will receive a notification to the email address you provided upon registration about the server's readiness. It will include the VPS IP address and login credentials for connection. Our company's clients manage their equipment through the server management panel and APIInvapi.

Authentication data, which can be found in the Info >> Tags tab of the server management panel or in the sent email:

  • Link to check for the presence of a Let's Encrypt certificate: in the webpanel tag;
  • Login: root;
  • Password for server administration access: sent in an email when the server is ready after deploying the software.

After deploying the nginx-certbot container, the docker-compose file is located in the /root/data/nginx directory, and the default configuration is in the user_conf.d subdirectory of this same directory. This allows the client to easily configure additional parameters, such as:

  • Changing the email address for Let's Encrypt;
