(Not sure if I need to tag @jerry@fedia.io, but just in case)

I seems like you're managing fedia.io's site certificate manually which is a huge pain in the ass. In case you're unaware, there is a small utility called Certbot which, after a little configuration will automatically renew a Letsencrypt certificate on a set schedule. Could save a ton of headache.

I am an extensive user of certbot. The renewal failed for fedia.io. I’m not yet 100% sure why it failed, but I think I will move it to dns based authentication.

Ah, ok. I think it failed once before which is why I got the impression you might be handling it manually. Thanks for your work on the site!

Yeah, it did. I thought I fixed the issue with letsencrypt authentication, but clearly not. Moving to DNS auth should permanently fix it.
