Hello, Today the certificat of my discourse installation expired. I have tried to renew it by following those commands : ssh root@your.discourse.server cd /var/discourse/shared/standalone cp -r ssl ssl_backup rm ssl/* cd /var/discourse ./launcher rebuild app After execution, i can see that new files are available in the directory /var/discourse/shared/standalone/ssl however this new certificate is not loaded by the web site. Any idea how to solve this problem ?

It finally works. It was my port 80 from my Azure environment that was closed so the challenge response when generating the certificate was failing … thanks for you help.

[image] PEYRUSSE Christian: cp -r ssl ssl_backup rm ssl/* These steps are usually unnecessary - the build script on its own will update your certificate as required. I wonder if your deletion of the contents of the directory is affecting the build process?

Are you trying to use a custom certificate rather than the one provided by let’s encrypt? DId you follow Allow SSL / HTTPS for your Discourse Docker setup (which isn’t recommended anymore) or just a standard install? Are you using cloudflare or something else that might be interfering with the certificate renewal?

You’ll need to go into the container (./launcher enter app) and try to run the command by hand. cd /root/acme.sh && LE_WORKING_DIR="${LETSENCRYPT_DIR}" ./acme.sh --upgrade --auto-upgrade You could try that. Is something wrong with your DNS? Common wisdom is that it’s always DNS. What’s your hostname?

I had that very same problem a few months ago. I‘ve tried everything I could find on meta but in the end a simple restart of the server solved it for me.

I did this :slight_smile: Reboot Server : No changes root@VM-Discourse-01-app:/var/www/discourse# cd /root/acme.sh && LE_WORKING_DIR=“${LETSENCRYPT_DIR}” ./acme.sh --upgrade --auto-upgrade [Tue 06 Feb 2024 06:53:56 AM UTC] Already uptodate! [Tue 06 Feb 2024 06:53:56 AM UTC] Upgrade success! But when i launch discourse i can see on the url that the certificate is not set.

It’s a certificate provided by let’s encrypt, no cloudfare at all.
