It's not surprising, consider the failure modes: - a key is made public, and we have to call a user or refund them (for retention purposes) - a key is made public, and we revoked the key, potentially breaking the customers builds/

No, you are not. You have an illusion of control over your vehicle, and while you may have a measure of operability, the actual control of your vehicle is depending on the correct functioning of the software and hardware that manages the

It's really nice that you feel that way, but I hope to hell I don't need to use software you designed. "Look and feel" and "Aesthetics" are core components of usable computer software, and consistency is the w

Right, so you can run the dns01 challenge on a separate service, up to and including running it in jenkins to automatically renew and push your certs, and kick the nginx server. I should document how my setup works and put it up somewhere.

by ygjb-dupe 10y ago
Have a separate host that handles all of the renewals (e.g. dns01 challenge), then pushes the updated cert to your webserver and reloads the nginx (or whatever process is required for your webserver/proxy).
