Debug

If you have any problems, you can run separately this script.

For authenticator_godaddy.sh, you must set manually following variables :

• CERTBOT_DOMAIN
• CERTBOT_VALIDATION

For example, if your domain is auth.foo.mydomain.com, these variables must set like :

# Uncomment this lines only to test this script manually
CERTBOT_DOMAIN="auth.foo.mydomain.com"
CERTBOT_VALIDATION="test_value"

Once the authenticator_godaddy.sh script ended, your domain must be upgrade with _acme-challenge.auth.foo TXT record with test_value as value.

However, these lines must be commented in normal mode because #CERTBOT_DOMAIN and $CERTBOT_VALIDATION variables is defined by certbot command.
