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.

@beardalaxy @Halo you have to go to porkbun and add a CAA record for your domains :pepe_coffee:
@Riserise @beardalaxy i don't remember ever doing that but worth a try :yui_shrug:
Follow

@Riserise @Halo lol the only posst i can find about setting CAA records on porkbun the dude says "porkbun did it for me" xD

i am on the CAA screen to put in the values but not sure exactly what to input for the answer.

@Riserise @Halo o i'm retard lol it literally has the example in the box and it's exactly what i needed xD i thought the parentheses were PART OF IT and i was weirded out.

anyway, i was able to force the renewal! thanks for the help guys :) i'm guessing it will just take some time for the renewal to reflect everywhere?

I think so?
good the cert renewed tho :nana_thumb:

If it's still showing the error then you may wanna investigate a bit more :kanna_inspect:

(aka ask the host what's up)

@Halo @Riserise yeah lol it's still happening even after renewing the cert so I guess it's on them somehow?

@Halo @Riserise i had to use this command:

certbot certonly --force-renew -d sb.greenboys.club

then it asked what i wanted to authenticate with, i chose nginx, and it worked then set up a process to automatically renew.

@beardalaxy @Halo what a hassle!
I'm glad you got it working, good job :loli_thumb:
