in reply to PerlMonks Certificate Expired

https://pair.com are working on this, and at least one machine now has a certificate for ads.perlmonks.org, but not the wildcard certs for perlmonks.{com,net.org}, so there still is work to be done.

    Thanks for the update. I'm pleased to report that as of now the cert on www.perlmonks.org is up to date.

    I have a cert reminder tool which throws an early warning when a cert reaches a few days before expiry so will add www.perlmonks.org to the list and post here if it gets close again in subsequent years.

      Yeah, I wrote something like that yesterday too ( at https://github.com/Corion/App-certificate-expiry, not yet on CPAN ) and have it running as a cronjob too.

      Also hopefully before the new certificate expires (October 2024), Pair will allow upload custom Let's Encrypt certificates so we can manage them ourselves, or Pair can manage them for all the subdomains.

        My cert expiry reminder system alluded to above has just informed me that the current cert has only 9 days left. If the renewal wheels are not already in motion, now might be a good time to start.

        The annoying thing about Let's Encrypt certificates is that they are issued for a maximum of 90 days. This requires at least four renewals every year, which is why scripting their renewal is the only real solution.

        Blessings,
