Why do I get "Renew certificate for domains" in the Duck DNS log?

1

Hello,

On 17/12/2021 I created a Duck DNS domain.

I don’t know since when, but I see this warning in the log of the add-on :

Should I do something ? Sorry, I don’t know a lot of these things…

That is not a warning. It’s logged as INFO and it’s simple letting you know that it’s checking the expiry a couple of times a day (and right after restarts).

Don’t worry about it - it’s perfectly normal.

The DuckDNS addon use Let’s Encrypt certificates in order to use HTTPS connections.
Let’s Encrypt certificates are only valid for 90 days, so when there are less than 30 days left it asks the Let’s Encrypt servers for a renewed certificate.

Thanks for the reassurance, I will be able to sleep tonight :wink:

Unrelated to the error but related to DuckDNS: I moved out of DuckDNS today because it’s so painfully slow that it was causing connection errors very regularly. (https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1dofej3/duckdns_is_slow/) (It was taking 4s to answer a DNS request, leading my HA page loads to take ~20s for some reason.)
I’m using Dynu now (https://www.dynu.com/).
