Mastodon/Admin

Details on how the instance is configured! sort of scattered throughout different pages, so maintenance welcome!

Certs

We use certbot for our SSL certificates! The certificates need to be renewed every 3 months, there should be a cron task that attempts to renew them twice per day:

(in /etc/crontab)

0 0,12 * * * root sleep 559 && certbot renew --nginx -q

generated according to the certbot docs, adding the nginx flag for our particular config.

Otherwise, from an account that has sudo/root, just run

sudo certbot renew --nginx
