I think it’s been years since I’ve seen a let’s encrypt certificate fail to renew, but I’ve had three sites in the past week or two that have stale certificates. A rebuild fixes it and I have heretofore failed to look for clues in the logs. Next time I’ll do a bit more to diagnose the problem before fixing it for the site.

I thnink that this commit solves the problem, and I bet the sites with this issue are before this commit https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/commit/2909a162475ca0e5cbdb69059ff0254c820b1963

Thanks, Daniela! That does seem like it may be related, but I can’t tell what to do about it or how to know if a site should force getting a new certificate. I just checked a handful of sites and several have renewed in the past few days. I believe in all cases the certificate had expired (I double-checked only the one that I just fixed), so the more I think about it, the less I think this explains it–unless some of these sites had an old enough base image that it would fail to retrieve a new certificate because that base image had an out-of-date root certificate? AH! That might explain it. Another docker-based Debian 9 site that I manage is getting errors using curl because its root image is bad.

How old is the Discourse base image in those sites? Please share the exact image tag.

Here’s the list of images from the site that I just upgraded (looks like time for a ./launcher cleanup!). So I guess it was 2.0.20210528-1735?

Next time I’ll try to make better notes. See the calls to acme.sh in the logs, but the output goes to /dev/null.

[תמונה] pfaffman: that I just upgraded Oh so the information is lost here. We would need to know which was source of the parent layer of the old local_discourse/app. I have a test site with the latest image and the certificate was renewed last week just fine.

[תמונה] Falco: I have a test site with the latest image and the certificate was renewed last week just fine. Yeah. And I just looked at half a dozen others and they’re all fine too. I guess I should have tagged this #mystery.

Aha! It’s that error having to do with using ZeroSSL as the default CA. Now I remember that being a problem in the semi-recent past.

I have the same problem. Just rebuild, but my discourse let’s encrypt certificate doesn’t renew.
How could I check my installation?
