You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

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.

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.
