- sam_lowry_ 1y agoI already had this with the certbot on Debian that was running perfectly for 5-6 years by that time.
- pferde 1y agoThat could be an argument against automating anything, ever. The solution is just like with any other automation - document it.
- quesera 1y ago... which is also the solution for any other infrequent manual process. :)
- syncsynchalt 1y agoAnd if something silently breaks, would you rather the breakage is noticed within 47 days, or 398 days? Even your unrelated question is another argument for shortened certificate lifetimes. :-)
- rini17 1y agoExcept that's not how this works. When a cron job fails, does not depend on how often it is ran.
