  • Please randomize time-of-day for certificate renewal
    M mcpherrinm

    I work at Let's Encrypt, which Cloudron uses to issue certificates per its documentation. We've identified that Cloudron disproportionately sends traffic at midnight and noon UTC. I suspect this is the automated renewal noted in Cloudron's documentation.

    Let's Encrypt receives disproportionately high amounts of traffic at midnight UTC in particular, as well as the top of other hours. I'm attempting to find software which hardcodes these times to ask the developers to have them renew at a random time of day.

    Would it be possible to have cloudron renew at a random time of day? If so, is there an update mechanism that would allow existing clients to install this fix?

    Thank you in advance,

    The peak of the spike is about 20 seconds long, where we are returning some errors due to overload. Traffic is elevated for a few more minutes.

    Tracking down the spikes is a little fun, though sometimes quite tricky. Cloudron was straightforward because it supplies a distinct user agent, which not all clients do.

    Thank you for promptly addressing this!

    It’s not just cloudron but many pieces of software all making the same decision to renew at midnight, which leads to uneven traffic.
