      I keep getting a notification that my letsencrypt certificates are going to expire for subdomains that I haven’t used before/not using currently.

      I have gone into my certificates and renewed them all, but I keep getting these emails.

      What can I do to verify the certificates will stay valid?

          @privsec those emails are sent by Let's Encrypt and not by Cloudron. I receive those mails as well, you can just ignore them. It's just LE being nice and sending us a notification that those subdomains are due renewal but I guess it doesn't know that we don't use those subdomains anymore. And AFAIK, there is no way to opt out of that email.

            @girish Gotchya, ok. So it is a known issue, but nothing that can be done for it.

            Cool.

            Is there any way to adjust how cloudron renews certificates?

            Like can there be a memory within cloudron of all subdomains used and when it comes time to renew, just renew it on all of those subdomains?

              That's the current behavior. It only renews domains that are in use in Cloudron. AFAIK, there is no way to tell Let's Encrypt to "forget a subdomain" that we had gotten a certificate before. This is the reason why you get the reminder emails from Let's Encrypt about old domains.
