Hi!

My SSL certificate has not been renewed. I found the following error in acme.sh.log :

Do you know how can I fix that? :pray:

Is this following our Discourse official Standard Installation? How did you end up requiring a certificate for example.com ?

yes, it’s an old install on Digital Ocean with Docker (with multisite). Everything was OK with SSL before tonight.
I did a ./launcher rebuild app after a git pull and the error is still there in acme.sh.log:

Create new order error. Le_OrderFinalize not found. {
  "type": "urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited",
  "detail": "Error creating new order :: too many failed authorizations recently: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/",
  "status": 429
}

Is it a good idea to change the email used for LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL?
Is it a problem with my account or a bug in the last versions of Discourse (I’m on beta) ?

Here is what I get when I run ./launcher logs web_only:

I changed LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL, did a rebuild and it’s working again. But I’m curious to know what happened.
