How to get Let's Encrypt locally?

Question

ubuntu

Hello! You need to get a Let's Encrypt certificate for the domain hosted on masterhost.ru. You cannot bind it from the panel, you can only upload the certificate file and key. Support offered to create a certificate and key locally and then upload them to the hosting.
I also have a VPS on the run. There I tried to create SSL as root via https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt, specifying the desired domain there, but when checking the database, it gives a MySQL Error.
Now the question itself: can I get the certificate and key file, for example, on OpenServer locally? Or is it possible to use some other service?

0. Everything is done in the console of some local Linux or WSL for Windows 10.
1. Download getssl ( https://github.com/srvrco/getssl).

sudo mkdir /opt/getssl
sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt/getssl
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/srvrco/getssl/master/getssl --output /opt/getssl/getssl
chmod 700 /opt/getssl/getssl

2. Create a config for your site/domain sample.ru.
3. Change the config \opt\getssl\sample.ru\getssl.cfg to work with ftp/ssh on masterhost.

CA="https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org"
SANS="www.sample.ru"
ACL=('ftp:u123456:p123456:u123456.ftp.masterhost.ru:/sample.ru/www/.well-known/acme-challenge')
USE_SINGLE_ACL="true"

4. Create a folder for the token /sample.ru/www/.well-known/acme-challenge on ftp masterhost
5. Run the script for obtaining a certificate
6. In the masterhost admin panel:
- "Domain characteristics" > "SSL support" > " add"/"change"
- "Upload your certificate"
- field "Certificate" - file /opt/getssl/sample.ru/sample.ru.crt
- field "Key" - file /opt/getssl/sample.ru/sample .ru.key
- "Add"/"Save"
7. Check https://sample.ru
PS Probably you will have to use passive mode to work with ftp - https://github.com/srvrco/getssl/pull/275
