Is it possible to create new certificate with certbot if I accidentally lost the one I just created?
I was testing certbot with docker and created certificate on my test server. Then I wanted to make sure that running same command for creating certificate, will exit normally. But instead it would get stuck on (which is problematic when running ansible as it would just stuck without any output at all):

The following certificates are not due for renewal yet:

So I decided to just delete certificate and private key and create new certificate (should have made a backup..). But now I always get this:
docker-compose run --rm -p 80:80 certbot certonly --register-unsafely-without-email --agree-tos --standalone --preferred-challenge http -d myhost

So as I understand letsencrypt knows there is valid certificate registered by them and refuses to create new one. Is there a way to create new one instead of waiting till it expires?..:)
My mistake. I forgot that I added this in docker compose for certbot as entrypoint..
"/bin/sh -c 'trap exit TERM; while :; do certbot renew; sleep 12h & wait $${!}; done;'"
So it would try to renew and be stuck.
