Unable to issue Let's Encrypt certificate in Plesk for a domain inside a Docker container: Invalid response from example.com, 403 Unauthorized

  While plesk team don't fix the issue, that's the workarround
  

   

  Find this block on your domain's generated config file (somewhere inside /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/)

   

          #extension letsencrypt begin
          location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
                  root /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs;
                  types { }
                  default_type text/plain;
                  satisfy any;
                  auth_basic off;
                  allow all;
                  location ~ ^/\.well-known/acme-challenge.*/\. {
                          deny all;
                  }
          }
          #extension letsencrypt end

   

  Changing the location line to this fixes the issue:

   

          location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {

   

  Then if you guys want to fix it, just update this template in letsencrypt extension.

  Hello Alexander

  The issue is not resolved in the version 17.8.11.

  The workarround with the additonal nginx-directive doesn't work: it gives still the error message "The authorization token is not available ...."

  But the solution from @Elias worked, but the the conf-files should not be modifed, and the changes go lost, after the files would be generated.

  You also need to make sure Proxymode is unchecked under Domains > example.com > Apache & nginx Settings

  Hi @Stefan Bättig,

  I have just double-checked that thoroughly: you are right, it appears that common directory rewrite rules for nginx are conflicting in case proxy mode is enabled, so the bug is indeed actual.

  I let our development team know about that, so hopefully it will be fixed soon!

   

  Dear @Sebastian Thomas,

  Thank you very much for the input, indeed: with disabled proxy mode it is working out of the box.

  I try those workaround, but it's not working on my server.
  
  The best way I find to do this is to remove the docker proxy rule from "/", renew certificate and create a new proxy rule.
  Maybe plesk team have to set a rule somewhere on the proxy system to not proxy  ".well-know"

  Hello @Jérémy,

  Thank you for sharing your user experience.

  After the bug will be resolved, the article will be updated with the corresponding information.

  > I try those workaround, but it's not working on my server.

  There is a possibility that there may be some difference on your server.
  I can suggest submitting a ticket to us or to our partner depending on where Plesk license was purchased from.

  Hello @Stefan,

  Thank you for the feedback.

  The following article is devoted to this error: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003199234-Unable-to-install-Let-s-Encrypt-certificate-Timeout-during-connect-likely-firewall-problem-OR-Error-getting-validation-data-

  Please, try the solution from the article above.

  In case this would not help, I would recommend submitting a support request to Plesk directly (if license key was bought directly from us) or to one of our partners (if license key was bought from them): https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608509-How-to-submit-a-request-to-Plesk-support-
