Hello All, I have Discourse webpage where I have SSL cert issued for it. The email address is in the app.yaml file. However the cert is no longer valid and I need to update it. ./launcher rebuild app does not help. How can I update the certificate in this situation?

I’ve tried and can’t say if it worked. Just hard-refreshed Ctrl+F5 the site in Chrome and cert is now valid. Seems like cache… Thanks for your help guys!

Do you have cloudflare in front of your server?

Is this a letsencrypt certificate or some other kind? If it’s some other cert then you need to put the new cert wherever the old one was. What is your site URL?

It is LE cert. Ive just added email for LE when setting up the whole site. Cant share the site URL but I can provide all needed info. Discourse is up to date.

I wasnt choosing cert app. This is the default discourse installation so I dont even know if this is certbot or acme.sh.

Dear @pbies According to the code: templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml 2dfb77a35 env: LETSENCRYPT_DIR: "/shared/letsencrypt" hooks: after_ssl: - exec: cmd: - if [ -z "$LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL" ]; then echo "LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL ENV variab…

This helps to understand that acme script is used to install/update. But still I dont find manual instruction to update cert. There should be some webpage for that. Later I will try to enter container and issue new cert based on this code.

Hi @pbies

You might also enjoy looking at cron to see what command is running in the container crontab file:

For example, in your main app container:

crontab -l

Cheers!
