Apologies for the down time earlier tonight. Was down between about 7pm and 9pm. I was at my girlfriend's so couldn't access the server from her PC. Basically someone forgot to renew the HTTPS certs again :roll: :chairsmack: :roll:

I can find out how I've got my Linux box renewing the LetsEncrypt certificates automatically if you like.

Yeah may help. I'm using getssl and should be possible as a cron job, but I've never got it working :( I use gzip and rsync as a cron job and that works fine :shrug:

OK, try this...
I've removed my account details (I think) but it still has my domains.
It's using acme.sh but in a global location, which acme.sh isn't really designed to do for some stupid reason.

I found a crontab generator so I guess this would / should work

Be careful with things like "./scriptname" in your crontab, because that's going to try to execute a script in whatever is cwd when crond runs the task. I honestly don't even know what that will be, $HOME? /? I would suggest always using absolute paths in crontabs.

Assume nothing, including the PATH for scripts which run as root.

Good point,
