I’ve got a site that’s gotten a couple of let’s encrypt warning emails. I ignored them, but now the expire date is 9 days away. I did a `./launcher rebuild app`, but [https://dtqr.literatecomputing.com/](https://dtqr.literatecomputing.com/) still has the cert that will expire March 30. (N.B. Chrome now requires you to use devel mode/security to see certs).
I don’t see anything obviously wrong in the logs, if I’m looking in the right place. Oh, @tgxworld, before you see the logs, look at this. Even more curious is that it looks like I got new keys:

[Tue Mar 21 17:20:07 UTC 2017] It is recommended to install nc first, try to install 'nc' or 'netcat'.
[Tue Mar 21 17:20:07 UTC 2017] We use nc for standalone server if you use standalone mode.
[Tue Mar 21 17:20:07 UTC 2017] If you don't use standalone mode, just ignore this warning.

@pfaffman I don’t see anything that is wrong in the logs. Recently, I enabled logging for the `acme.sh` client so I’m going to close this first. Feel free to ping me if this happens again.
