Certificates don't autorenew #1

This seems to be an on-going problem.

The current workaround is to stop and start the containers:

docker-compose down
docker-compose up

You may see a HTTP 500 error for a while until the sample container starts.

This makes me think that the certs were already updated but not live somehow (as I didn't see any indication of getting new certs).

Another possible fix would be to rebuild the full stack so we can get the latest versions of the full stack.

The docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion has a newer version that has two useful scripts in it:

  1. cert_status - shows you the current status of your certs docker exec nginx-letsencrypt /app/cert_status
  2. force_renew - forces certificate renewable docker exec nginx-letsencrypt /app/force_renew

I've updated docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion to the latest version but left the rest of the stack as is. If this issue continues I will also update:

  1. nginx
  2. jwilder/docker-gen
