How renew greenlock-express certificates forcefully at any time?

Should I use Node.js Greenlock-Express with cluster mode at the same time I'm using pm2 cluster mode?

QUESTION

How renew greenlock-express certificates forcefully at any time?

Asked 2022-Jan-05 at 10:08

I have CA certificates files in "greenlock.d/live/URL_PATH/". It's expiration date is Aug 2022.

But I want to renew them right now to check whether they are renewing or not. Please suggest me how can I renew them at any time?

What I have done:

I have tried number of solutions like:

Run these commands sequencially:

npm init

npm install --save greenlock-express@v4

npx greenlock init --config-dir ./greenlock.d --maintainer-email 'jon@example.com'

npx greenlock add --subject example.com --altnames example.com

QUESTION

Should I use Node.js Greenlock-Express with cluster mode at the same time I'm using pm2 cluster mode?

Asked 2020-May-02 at 11:29

I'm building an stateless Web application using Node.js, Express and pm2 for process management. In production environments, I run one instance of the application for each core of the server CPU (thanks to pm2 cluster mode).

Recently I started to read about Greenlock-Express (for obtaining certificates automatically) and it also has a "cluster" property, which if I understand correctly it basically does the same thing as pm2 cluster mode.

Will there be any collisions or possible issues if I run both Greenlock-Express and pm2 in cluster mode? If they do, what's the best alternative to obtain automatically SSL certificates with Node.js in a Windows enviroment? And if they do not, is it optimal to use both of them in cluster mode?

PM2 only implements partial cluster support.

See https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/issues/26

I'd recommend just using serviceman (cross-platform) or raw systemd (linux) or Docker (cloud deploys).

If you are going to use PM2, you use Greenlock Express with it the same way that you would use it with Ruby, Python, etc - as a separate executable, not as a "built-in" app.

PM2s default optimizations for node apps are already implemented in Greenlock Express, and since PM2 only has partial cluster support, there's not a way to tell PM2 to pass control to Greenlock Express, nor to have PM2 accept control from Greenlock Express.

Also: Only use cluster mode if you actually have multiple CPU cores otherwise you'll cause thread thrashing and slow down your process.

Install greenlock

Greenlock is fully-automated, SSL Certificate Manager for IoT, Web Hosting, and Enterprise On-Prem, Edge, and Hybrid Cloud. (though we started building it for Home Servers). You can use it for one-off certificates, like certbot, but it is much more powerful than that. By setting just a few callbacks to let it know where it should store private keys and certificates, it will automatically renew any certificate that you add to it, as long as the process is running. Certificates are renewed every 45 days by default, and renewal checks will happen several times a day.
Greenlock comes with reasonable defaults but when you install it, you should also install any plugins that you need.
