Cert check missing in box

[robi]

Breaking this out from this post..

Running into a UI down scenario, as recommended I deleted all the conf/cert files, and gotten nginx started, however the UI is still not accessible after box restart because of a missing cert and browsers refuse to connect with no override.
All apps are, of course, inaccessible too, until configs and certs can be regenerated.

On restart, box seems to recreate the /etc/nginx/applications/my.domain.conf BUT doesn't check if the /home/yellowtent/platformdata/nginx/certs/my.domain.host.cert is there to make sure the UI can come up.

Please add this check and create the cert if missing, and reload nginx.

This will make box more resilient.

@robi Makes sense, I will put this in the next patch release.

In the meantime, is your server up and running again now?

@girish Great.

Yes, thanks for asking, it was a painful several hours during the wee hours of the night figuring out how to generate a set of new certs that would bring the UI back enough to regenerate them all.

I ended up using one of the 3rd party CLI tools for LE called getssl.
