A few weeks ago Let’s Encrypt announced that they would no longer be sending email notifications for expiring certificates. The reasoning is sound. So now what?
Well, if you depend on Let’s Encrypt and certbot for your certificates hopefully you’ve already set up auto-renewal for your non-manual certificates.
For those of us using manual renewal authentication methods (DNS entry, webroot file, etc) who have not automated certificate renewal and who rely on Let’s Encrypt emails to notify you it is time to renew - I’ve got a solution.
In 1998 I was sitting at the bar of Frankie, Johnnie and Luigi Too! on El Camino Real in Mountain View (the original - if you know you know) talking about CRM - this was when Clarify and Siebel were dominant - and all the potential business benefits that could be achieved when business were able to really know their customers and serve them as individuals. One of my coworkers said – “But, customers are never going to share that data”.
