Via NginX Proxy Manager
Here is the problem I'm facing... I want to have multi-level sub-domains for examele
*.docs.webally.co.za
I would have thought a wildcard certificate for webally.co.za would be sufficient, but it is not. A wildcard certificate for webally.co.za only covers *.webally.co.za and not for *.docs.webally.co.za
So to get past this problem I need more wildcard certificates and I don't want to pay for them. So this is how:
- The easiest way is to install NginX Proxy Manager
- From there you can click on Add Proxy Host
- On The SSL tab, Select request SSL Certificat
- Either complete DNS Challenge or enter email address. But you can't request a wildcard certificat without DNS Chanllenge and my host
