 K900 | Not that | 21:51:36 |
| K900 | acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org | 21:51:46 |
| K900 | Can you ping that? | 21:51:49 |
| netpleb | hmm, nope! wtf, I can ping google.com just fine though. What is going on? | 21:53:15 |
| K900 | You have a DNS problem | 21:55:01 |
| K900 | Have fun | 21:55:03 |
| netpleb | I am obviously not an expert in these things (though getting to know/learn Nix, both the language and the OS has been overall a rewarding experience). How is it possible that I can ping google but not letsencrypt? | 21:58:24 |
| netpleb | * ... | 21:59:26 |
| K900 | Something about your DNS config is broken | 22:01:14 |
| K900 | That's not really a NixOS problem | 22:01:23 |
| K900 | More of a general networking problem | 22:01:28 |
| netpleb | ok, sorry, i fixed the dns issue already. I am now able to ping it:
[root@netpleb-public-services:~]# ping acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org

| K900 | Now you can restart the ACME service | 22:03:14 |
| K900 | And maybe it'll actually succeed | 22:03:18 |
