    As an end user, I just want to set it up and forget about it. I did it six months ago. I haven't looked it at until today. I'll probably won't look at it for another six months.

    hmmm... reading comprehension?

    My point was that my own customers never have to set up anything.

    While at it, for very sensitive customer internal stuff, use a sub-domain with self-signed certs. You never know.

    oh, and my mod_security reverse-proxy routes all Let's Encrypt challenge requests to the same folder for the ~90 sites so no messing around with the websites content.

    As a matter of fact, my customers don't need to do anything or touch their website. I guess it beats your setup because you say that, as a customer, you must set it up on you provider "web page".

    Setting up multiple cron jobs will probably take a bit longer than 15 minutes. I got too many items on my to do list to dive into the cron job rabbit hole.

    1 cron job for ~90 websites. No need to modify the cron job to add a new site, duh.

    here you go:

    Just as fast as your provider and I hate web management interfaces. As a matter of fact, it is probably faster than it is at your provider because all you need to do is edit text files.

    True enough, I have renewed several times in the same day when setting up automation. 60/90 days seems like good default values for now with a concern to not overload the system for nothing. This is what is recommended here:
    https://letsencrypt.org/2015/1...

    Also 60/90 is fine for me because I always manually restart apache (apachectl restart) at least once a week so new certificates should always be loaded on time. I don't want the automated script to restart my server for stability concerns.

    On a side note, most clients seem to have way to many dependencies. I found a pure bash one without any dependencies. Here it is:
    https://github.com/srvrco/gets...

    But anyway, Let's Encrypt certificate expire after 90 days, period.

    The emails you are getting are pretty useless. I only get emails if the automated process fails. Then, I would get 30 days to monitor/fix it if it ever occurs. This is pretty standard for a Let's Encrypt setup. You would know about it if you actually ever implemented the process yourself.

    whoosh yourself. Here is what "the curl" means:

    In vector calculus, the curl is a vector operator that describes the infinitesimal rotation of a 3-dimensional vector field. At every point in the field, the curl of that point is represented by a vector. The attributes of this vector (length and direction) characterize the rotation at that point.

    I never heard "the curl" when talking about curl training.

    My god! I am not missing any point. Do you think that I renew my certs manually and that your provider is the only one to automate the process??? Of course not, I have a script in a cron job that takes care of it.

    You don't renew a cert "when it expires".

    I get a handful of emails every month from my web hosting provider that my expired certs are being renewed automatically.

    Well, change provider if yours renew your certs only once they have expired! I begin renew requests for my certs 30 days before they expire. Again RTFM.

    ...expiring and renewing each month

    You seem to be missing an important principle: You have to renew a cert before it expires, hence the 60/90 days schedule.

    You don't renew a cert "when it expires".

    No! It expires every 90 days and you can renew after 60 days. RTFM.

  19. I'm not an MS fanboy by any means (almost everything I do outside of my desktop is on Linux) but I still think it's near I can SSH to one of my servers using a copy of SecureCRT I bought 13+ years ago.

    hmm... you sure seem to enjoy proprietary stuff and to be well trained in MS concepts although.

    I never had any problems logging into SSH servers without SecureCRT and I still run some servers with patched versions of slackware from 1997. Some running XVNC GUIs.

    More like laying eggs. Real mayonnaise is eggs and vegetable oil with a touch of vinegar and seasonings.

    So "vege" mayonnaise could possibly be mayonnaise without eggs. No thank you, I will stick with old school. It is comparable to people eating margarine instead of butter because butter contains cholesterol. Well, guess what? Your body will produce cholesterol with the overdose of margarine you may feed yourself although there is none in the intake. I eat butter. Just control your doses and you will be all better the end.

    For animal conscious people, there is nothing with eating an animal eggs.
