letsencrypt clarification

Hi Hugo,
I need help clarifying something

The <hostname>
must be the first hostname for that virtual host. All other hostnames will
be used as alternative hostnames for the certificate.

So if I want a subdomain certificate, will having the following virtual host work?

virtual host {
    Hostname = example.com, www.example.com, dev.example.com, ftp.example.com
}

Will that give me a certificate for
example.com
www.example.com
dev.example.com
ftp.example.com

Thank you

Yes, you should use the following command:

./letsencrypt request example.com

which will give you a certificate valid for the hostnames example.com, www.example.com, dev.example.com and ftp.example.com

Cool thank you very much.
Does your script use the server hostname for the Common Name?
I'm asking because the ftp is on another server (same domain)

Yes, it does.
