threshold for number of days before expiration

oto_pakozdy

hello,
I cant find any info changing number of days before cert. expiration to proces renew order.
in config is only # settings for automatic ordering when certs are close to expiring
'auto_order_enable': true
but no any specific number .
is there a way to have custom value for "close to expiring" ?

thanks for help

If you’re looking at the master branch it was removed as I’m looking to discontinue it in the next release. The next release is planned to renew when 1/3 of the valid time remains or less than 7 days of valid time remains, whichever occurs first. The intent is to be more accommodating to the ACME service(s) of choice.

The current release still has it though:

 # auto order certs with less than this number of days remaining of validity
  'valid_remaining_days_threshold': 20

thanks for parameter.
but, it would be nice to have the way for custom scenarios

The change is in preparation for implementing the ARI specification. This is a spec that allows that ACME server to tell the client when to do renewals. Once that’s live renewal will occur within the specified window with the backstop for non-ARI server using the thresholds I mentioned above.

If there is a compelling use case to change this in the future, I might. But for now, that’s the current plan.
