    Apologies for the outage overnight - had some problems with the auto-renewal of SSL certificates failing.

    Think I've got it sorted now, so things should be back to normal.

    Is the anti-anxiety medication labelled 'Somersoft'?

    Nope - I use LetsEncrypt free SSL certs which expire every 90 days and are generally automatically renewed every 60 days.

    In this case the problem was an automatically applied upgrade which changed the configuration options but didn't quite get them correct - thus the next autorenew failed.

    I actually have a monitoring tool set up to alert me about expiring SSL certificates - but I just realised this morning that it is monitoring my front-end Cloudflare certs and not my origin web server certs.

    I need to set up a pass-through subdomain on Cloudflare so I can monitor the origin certs.
