Couldn't agree more. For a person that runs/admins their own DNS and mailserver infra, I'm surprised they didn't immediately gravitate towards one of the lightweight clients. Been a while since I last needed to get involved with letsencrypt stuff but I've always used and liked: https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh Ansible's letsencrypt module was also not bad last time I used it: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/acme_certificate_module.html#acme-certificate-module https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/acme_certifi...

Mailinabox comes with its own pre-installed client that apparently does not upgrade unless you upgrade the whole machine. The upgrade instructions for that particular operation start with: take a newly installed Unbuntu machine. Which isn't always an option.

  Right, that makes things less fun indeed :(

    Having issued the certificate manually I now have 90 days to fix this. I'm sure I'll get around to it before the end of September, but even so I am very hard at work to get a project ready for release and this ate up time that I didn't really have (and then of course I did find time to blog about it ;) ).

  In the mailinabox case - I suspect this refers to the jump from v0.3x to v0.4x? Which was the point that they moved to Ubuntu 18.04, I think somewhere around the beginning of 2019? Admittedly I'm somewhat slack about maintenance on my own mailinabox system, so it took me ~12 months to get around to going through the upgrade process, which was pretty painless. It was just a case of backup/re-image/setup/restore on the same machine, took maybe an hour? (But yes, it would have been nicer to have a better rollback point than that).

    That change happened about a week after I installed it the first time, just after migrating many (way too many) imap stores to it. I figured it should be good for a while at least. My mistake I guess. Or maybe two years counts as enough? Wonder what the lower border is for an operation like that.
