Let's Encrypt Notification Emails To Stop

Coffee Lounge

I received the following email.

  1. Will my Wappler deployments continue to auto-renew their SSL certs?
  2. What's the process for manually renewing a cert on a remote target?

Hi,

As a Let’s Encrypt Subscriber, you benefit from access to free, automated TLS certificates. One way we have supported Subscribers is by sending expiration notification emails when it’s time to renew a certificate.

We’re writing to inform you that we intend to discontinue sending expiration notification emails. You can learn more in this blog post:

Here are some actions you can take today:

Automate with an ACME Client that supports Automated Renewal Information (ARI). ARI enables us to automatically renew your certificates ahead of schedule should the need arise:

Sign up for a third-party monitoring service that may provide expiration emails. We can recommend Red Sift Certificates Lite, which provides free expiration emails for up to 250 active certificates:

I'm assuming you're using Wappler's Docker deployment, in which case it uses Traefik which automatically renews certificates

@TMR So you are not using Docker and Traefik on your deployment?

No, I see them both as a layer of complexity that I dont require.

Have you had this webpage up for long? If it is more than 3 months and you haven't got any mail from lets encrypt then the page is auto updating certificate.

And as far as I know you dont have to setup the traefik service to get this working. So if you newer have got a mail from let's encrypt to update You don't have too worry about it.

I've had the page up for at least 6 months now and have received notification emails. I just wasn't clear how Traefik worked to update the cert. I didn't want to find out after it was too late that somehow it relied on a notification/push process that was no longer being supported.
