can someone give me a TLDR on how to renew my certificate for my instance? i set it up with fediverse express i have little idea of what i'm actually doing lol.
@Halo i'm getting weird conflicts. certbot tells me it is not due for renewal yet, giving me a date in september. brave tells me in one place that it's fine, and in another place that it isn't valid. my instance (sb.greenboys.club) won't load and i got an email from certbot that it had expired.
idk how fedi express works would be better to ask whoever runs it for help.
I think this is a problem with them not you
but again. idk how tf fedi express works.
if it was your own server i could help more I think
@Halo basically fediverse express just sets you up with a server on a server hosting website, does all the legwork for you basically but they don't actually host anything. knowing what i know now i probably could have done that whole part myself and had better results because it puts some stuff in weird places but oh well.
anyway i am using digitalocean as the server host.
uh... man i'm trying to think of what commands i'd run to figure it out
the cert does show as expired when you look at it from browser
Could you run certbot certificates and see what that says.
I don't have access to my server rn so i can't run anything at the same time and see if it'll work
@Halo don't sweat it too much, i'm gonna' open a ticket with digitalocean to see if i can get it figured out there.
certbot says it's still valid with that command so idk lol o.0 just weird dns stuff i guess.
@Halo that's okay, i appreciate you trying to help :)
@Halo it's just weird, because certbot seems to think it expires in september but let's encrypt sent me an email saying it expired just a few days ago xD so i'm left with confusion. system time is correct.
you may wanna wait a bit and try it again.
or try it without the force flag.
also could check the system time
maybe the date is fucked up on the server so it thinks the cert is still valid.
just a few random thoughts
