Package: certbot
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
certbot installs a cronjob for automatic renewal without any information
for the administrator. While this is a nice idea to make renewing
certificates with letsencrypt easy, it is totally unexpected behaviour
and can cause confusion if another process to manage the renewal is used
by the administrator.
I suggest:
- there should be a /etc/default/certbot configuration file with a
parameter to disable automatic renewal. Maybe make it configurable via
AUTO_RENEW="all" # (all or list the domains to auto renew here
- The admin needs to be informed. Some good option would be to use
debconf to present a dialog on installation "enable auto renewal
(recommended)".
wkr,
Alexander Schier
