I installed letsencrypt on my unraid server to use with duckdns , and I thought I set it up to  auto-renew the certificate.

I guess I didn't or they would not be sending me an email reminding me to renew as my certificate would expire in 22 days

SO..  could someone tell me what to look for, point to, whatever, to see if my install of letsencrypt is or is not set to auto-renew my certificate

and I guess if it is not I will have to come back and ask how to renew a certificate....

Thanks,

Anne

You can reboot your LE container and it will pull a new cert.

thanks, but when I went to do it unraid said I had an update available, so I updated LE and now I can not open it... guess something else is wrong now... Thanks again for the tip

 

came into this thread here - I'm shopping around for an automatic solution for renewing these certificates every 90 (?) days. Looks like cron is going to be the solution, but not sure where/how to best execute it and set this up. I'll post here when I figure something out.

 

stumbled into an existing file:

appdata/swag/crontabs/root

# do daily/weekly/monthly maintenance
# min   hour    day     month   weekday command
*/15    *       *       *       *       run-parts /etc/periodic/15min
0       *       *       *       *       run-parts /etc/periodic/hourly
0       2       *       *       *       run-parts /etc/periodic/daily
0       3       *       *       6       run-parts /etc/periodic/weekly
0       5       1       *       *       run-parts /etc/periodic/monthly
# renew letsencrypt certs

 

 

 

 

Files also exist in

/etc/cron.*/<files>

 

For instance, /etc/cron.weekly/fix.common.problems.sh

 

runs 

#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/fix.common.problems/scripts/scan.php 2> /dev/null
