    Hello, I'm using Ispconfig 3.1.13 and I manage websites SSL Let's Encrypt certificates through Ispconfig interface. I have not set up a certbot automatic renewal script, my oldest LE certificate is going to expire and I wonder if Ispconfig will handle automatic renewal by itself

    ISPConfig takes care to renew the certs. It runs certbot every night with --renew option.

    Thank you Till, I would have bet on it but I couldn't find no explicit mention in the 3.1 Manual nor in the forum.
    I just checked some of the domains certificates and the Ispconfig auto renewal is working great (like the rest of this GREAT piece of sw).

    The fact is that today I received the LE email message "Let's Encrypt certificate expiration notice" for that domain (10 days to expiration) but running "certbot-auto certificates" shows for that domain "Expiry Date: 2018-12-03", so it seems to be a LE issue
    thanks

    You could have double or more certs for one domain. Check by running 'ls /etc/letsencrypt/*/domain.tld*" for that domain as sometimes new folder for that domain is created ending with 0001 etc and it certs might not have been properly symlinked to your site's ssl folder.

    I personally would delete all letsencrypt folder and file with that domain name if I faced such a problem. Running "rm -rf /etc/letsencrypt/*/domain.tld*" before requesting new certs will normally resolve my problem.

    thank you ahrasis, I checked and there are no duplicate folders for the domain in /etc/letsencrypt.
    since it is not a production domain but a development one I'm going to wait until the supposed expiration date and see if LE will send any more messages and the certificate will keep on working
