The funniest thing about this is that it needs a single Bash script and a cronjob to solve (unless they got a REALLY bad hoster).

That bash script probably exists a bazillion times alreadyโ€ฆ so even an LLM could spit it out for them.

Their organisational structure must be abhorrent for nobody to feel even remotely responsible for this.

    Most web server have ACME support built-in nowadays, setup is a matter of minutes, no scripting required. This has been a solved problem for years, any sysadmin who can't handle this basic task has no business running public-facing servers.

    Yeah, caddy automatically renews certs by default, as does traefik as far as i can tell, and certbot installs a timer for this.

    Yeah sure but in significantly distributed environments I'm sure there's more complexity to it than that
