NGINX and certbot to certificate all *.domain.com and domain.com
Hi,
I'm using certbot on my NGINX to generate my SSL certications. Our site hosts SAAS software which we assign a subdomain for every one of our clients. That being said I used Linode API and certbot to handle my SSL certifications on my wildcard as follows:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name _;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name .example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5500;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem;
}
this config works fine on my https://*.domain.com
traffics. However, my https://domain.com
has an SSL certification problem NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
what am I doing wrong?
if needed the domain name is diosf.com
Thanks

As I understand it, your wildcard SSL Certificate only covers your subdomains, not the actual top-level domain (TLD). This StackExchange article goes into more detail, but essentially you will still need to generate an SSL cert for your TLD:
