It’s breaking the access to the website and not a good look for the “app store for Linux”. A lesson in central points of failure?

    https://www.flathub.org is using Let’s encrypt. Their certs only last 90 days so you need a script to make sure they are updated and pushed to your site. https://flathub.org uses Globalsign which lasts for 13 months. My guess is they don’t have a process for reconciling the two types of end dates.

        Even just manually, how hard is it to put a reminder in a calendar somewhere? I’ve never understood how/why this happens, it’s really but difficult.

        You don’t even need to automate. Certbot comes with a systemd timer called certbot-renew.timer which does this for you.

      It’s broken on the www.flathub.org domain but not on just flathub.org by itself. Despite browsers trying to get rid of www its still commonly used.

        Yeah, it isn’t a good look for flathub. I looked at the certificate and the Subject Alternative Names section was missing the www prefix. Why they’re not using Let’s Encrypt and certbot beats me because this could all be automated.

            I use the DNS-01 challenge to take advantage of wildcard certs. Every 30 days, I have a cron job force a renewal, send a SIGHUP to nginx and I am back in biz. Ez-pezy

    And it’s still less shit than Snaps. It’s the giant douche and turd sandwich situation with this stuff.
