A short list of the challenge types may be found here: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-types/ That will get you some of the terminlogy so you can more reasonably search through the documentation for how to do one of them. You can do it manually, once every 3 months or you can use the DNS method. That's best left to reading the documentation, IMO. It is a bit of work to bring yourself up to speed on it all, if you're not familiar with TLS certificates nor the DNS (and the API for modifying it at whatever provider you use), but you can put that all off any do it manually a couple of times until you spend the time to fully automate it. -- Todd
