What did you see instead?

Hello, I'm trying to create a certificate using lego, and when I exec:

NAMECHEAP_API_USER=<user> \
NAMECHEAP_API_KEY=<key> \
sudo /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --dns namecheap --domains <domain> --email <email> --tls run

And I get:

namecheap: some credentials information are missing: NAMECHEAP_API_USER
,NAMECHEAP_API_KEY

How do you use lego?

Hello,

your problem is related to the sudo command and the env vars.
The two things are not in the same process.

You have to do that:

sudo \
NAMECHEAP_API_USER=<user> \
NAMECHEAP_API_KEY=<key> \
/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --dns namecheap --domains <domain> --email <email> --tls run
