Proof of concept for compatible daemon kicker when acme-tiny updates certs none

Description Stuart D Gathman 2020-05-25 23:22:51 UTC
Description of problem:
Cert fails to be signed because httpd does not respond to request to verify control of domain

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
acme-tiny-4.1.0-1.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Random, needs 3 or more certs to be signed in a day to be likely

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable acme-tiny timer
2. have 3 or more certs to be signed the same day
3.

Actual results:
First few certs are signed, then one fails because httpd does not respond

Expected results:
All certs in expiration window are signed.

Additional info:
As certs are signed, incrond runs /etc/acme-tiny/notify.sh which does "apachectl graceful" for certs just signed.  This seems to sometimes interfere briefly with new requests.

Comment 1 Stuart D Gathman 2020-05-25 23:49:16 UTC
The jilted certs will get signed the next day, and thus, the problem will correct itself.

Comment 2 Stuart D Gathman 2021-05-27 20:59:13 UTC
In addition, kicking apache/dovecot/sendmail does not happen out of the box.  User has to read the README for fedora and install incrond.  I think with systemd, I can have another one-shot service run after acme-tiny.  This will avoid needing to install anything additional.  Comparing dates on certs will only happen once a day, so not a performance problem.  It will avoid kicking the daemons until After all the certs are signed.

Comment 4 Stuart D Gathman 2021-05-28 04:38:36 UTC
Pushed a new version to rawhide.  Accidentally also pushed to f33, so pushed to f34 as well and will accelerate testing.  I will roll out on some lightly used production servers.
