Solved Sync Error - Certificate has expired

[JLX89]

Hello All!
I'm having issues with Joplin Server with the below error. I've checked the SSL Certificate, which is still valid. In addition, I've tried the following: Manually renewed SSL Cert, Restarted App.

Last error: FetchError: request to https://notes.domain.app/api/sessions failed, reason: certificate has expired

Thank you,
Justin

@jlx89 where are you seeing this error? In the joplin desktop app?

Hi @jlx89,

I saw the error as well last week and it seems to be an electron bug: https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/fix-for-certificate-has-expired-error-with-joplin-cloud-and-self-hosted-sync-targets/20638

@girish Yes, only on the desktop app. @fbartels Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like they just released a pre-release to fix the issue.

@jlx89 Yeah, thanks for the update, I too receive this error message and thus no synchronization is occurring.

Yes, I see this on my Linux desktop app, the message doesn't show up in Android app, however it is NOT synchronizing.

The workaround is btw to go into the synchronisation settings and put the checkbox in front of "ignore tls certificate errors".

Not nice, but better than nothing.

Yeah, and they say to then remove it once the bug is fixed because this is less secure.
