I have just had an email wrt Let's Encrypt certificate renewal. Now I understood that this is an automatic process and it is the term 'automatic' that I find misleading/ confusing.
Perhaps I have misunderstood something, but to renew the certificate, I assumed, being automatic, that come the renewal date or thereabouts I would get a notification to say that it has been renewed, with the new expiry date, or not if there has been a problem.
Instead, I need to log into the NAS as an Administrator, locate the certificate (Control Panel/ Connectivity/ Security/ Certificate tab) and right click on the certificate and select renew. Then, once the browser displays a message about restarting the Web Server, and thanks to posts here, close down the browser. Restart the browser, log in again and look at the certificate in order to verify that a new expiry date is shown, which is displayed next to the certificate name.
Perhaps I am being pedantic or am doing something incorrect, but this seems anything but automatic, or even semi-automatic?
