Hi all, In my mailcow the force renewal of the certificates isn't working. I've done everything described as in the [official documentation](https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/firststeps-ssl/) at force renewal. But the file doesn't get deleted and the container doesn't seem to renew any certificate. King Regards Niklas

Force renewal of certificates isn't working

Omikron

Hi all,

In my mailcow the force renewal of the certificates isn’t working. I’ve done everything described as in the official documentation at force renewal. But the file doesn’t get deleted and the container doesn’t seem to renew any certificate.

King Regards

Update your mailcow. 🙂

Omikron

Ok, that resolved the issue, is there somewhere in the GUI a place, where I can check the availability of updates?

No, only command line: ./update.sh --check
And you can look for commits on github: https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/commits/master
