hello all,
I am currently having issues understanding why i am not receiving a valid certificate for my webthings gateway. I have configured my registration server as closely as i could described in this thread: When accesing the Registration server from url in docker logs i am getting Error was : NoRoute . However, I am still receiving errors about the certificate. I am slowly losing hope for this project as i just cant seem to find a good solution.
Can you paste the error log please

do i need to correctly setup the email or is there something going on with LE not being able to authenticate the domain? I am running a docker container on AWS and i believe i have setup the NS record and SOA correctly.
is the e-mail a valide e-mail address?
also is your server is able to send e-mail?(does the smtp configuration are correcte)
https://github.com/WebThingsIO/registration_server#registration-server-1 the [e-mail] section must be correctly filled
yea i fixed that part. however google’s smtp is not sending the email for me 
for some reason it must be valid because now i have different errors from the gateway.
be sure this part is correctly configured in your docker image
also take a look at your docker log file for pagekit

I believe this is configured correctly. or atleast configured to how i understood it in the other thread
this is the registration server config, take a look at the pageKite config
GNU nano 4.8 /opt/docker/registration-server/config/pagekite.conf
–isfrontend
–ports=4443
–protos=https
–authdomain=cmccoy1.click
–nullui
wait are you talking about from the gateway? i was running ubuntu 20 and realized pagekite probs wont run on that because of python3 switch. so im spinning up a new vm to test that part out
the gateway shouldn’t be the issue, but if you want to be sure, you could try to run both on docker(gateway and registration server)
so it would appear maybe im still having an issue with my dns. so the gateway wasn’t the issue 
. I just dont really have a clue why the registration server logs are complaining about my domain. i can access the domain {cmccoy1.click} and the subdomain {api.cmccoy1.click} from the internet.
the left windows is a cli from the gateway or the registration server?
left is cli for gateway. the right cli is for the registration server
let’S first fix the e-mail issue:
try as server: smtp.gmail.com:465
then we could try to figure out the missing dns record for the challenge
Thank you. it worked my friend. it still wont send my email through my google account via smtp. i had to fix the sender. THANK YOU SO MUCH FRIEND
