![check-certificates notification](check-certificates.d/notification.avif)

Requirements and installation
-----------------------------
Just install the script:
$ScriptInstallUpdate check-certificates;
Configuration
-------------
For automatic download and renewal of certificates you need configuration
in `global-config-overlay`, these are the parameters:
* `CertRenewPass`: an array of passphrases to try
* `CertRenewTime`: on what remaining time to try a renew
2020-03-27 20:41:18 +00:00
* `CertRenewUrl`: the url to download certificates from
* `CertWarnTime`: on what remaining time to warn via notification
2020-03-27 20:41:18 +00:00
Certificates on the web server should be named by their common name, like
`CN.pem` (`PEM` format) or`CN.p12` (`PKCS#12` format). Alternatively any
subject alternative name (aka *Subject Alt Name* or *SAN*) can be used.

Also notification settings are required for
[e-mail](mod/notification-email.md),
[matrix](mod/notification-matrix.md) and/or
[telegram](mod/notification-telegram.md).

--------------------
Just run the script:
/system/script/run check-certificates;
2020-03-27 20:41:18 +00:00
... or create a scheduler for periodic execution:
/system/scheduler/add interval=1d name=check-certificates on-event="/system/script/run check-certificates;" start-time=startup;
2020-03-27 20:41:18 +00:00
