Auto request lets encrypt cert

JohnB

Every time I add a new site or addon domain I have to manually request the lets encrypt cert vs the self signed one. Is there a setting I'm missing that automatically does this?

@JohnB , this doesn't happen to me.
Even now I created a new site and, after less than 1 min, it had already a lets encrypt cert.

It happens here too. If the domain is not already pointed to your server, it can take awhile for whatever scheduled task or cron job is being used to detect the domain is pointed to the server and issue the cert. I usually manually request it as I don't want to wait..

The task runs constantly but every time it fails it will delay the time until the next retry, this avoids excessive processing of domains which are added by customers but where the DNS is never pointed.

If it's a fresh domain it should get a certificate within a few minutes but if it was added a long time ago then you will need to wait longer or request the SSL manually.
