Certificates not renewing #52

Closed ajatoledo closed 2 years ago

ajatoledo commented 2 years ago

Followed the deployment steps for KTN outlined in the materials on the github page and watched the walkthrough video for setting up no problem. KTN ran for 3 months, but then the https certificate expired and I am unable to renew it. Followed the steps in the materials provided, but it is not working.

Thanks for using Kill the Newsletter! and for reaching out. I’m sorry you’re running into this issue.

The certificate is handled by @small-tech/auto-encrypt. It should handle everything automatically, and has worked on https://kill-the-newsletter.com for a while now. I know this is going to sound silly but, have you tried restarting the service? If there’s something preventing @small-tech/auto-encrypt from renewing a certificate, restarting might help, because @small-tech/auto-encrypt checks the certificates on startup.

Other than that, I suppose I’d need more information about your deployment, because I don’t know what could be going wrong…

Let me know how it goes.

Sorry for my delay in responding. I determined the issue was on my end, specifically my firewall settings--I limited access to my Kill the Newsletter instance to my IP address. As a result, certificate renewal could not complete successfully. You can close this issue.

Thanks for all the great work!

I’m glad you figured it out.
