Description of my issue

My Yunohost is unable to renew it’s SSL certificate by itself anymore. This just started the past few weeks or so. I haven’t made any changes to my domain name that I am aware of.

How do I debug this?

Email from certmanager@domain.tld

An attempt for renewing the certificate for domain arkadi.one failed with the following
error :

The DNS records for domain 'arkadi.one' is different from this server's IP. Please check the 'DNS records' (basic) category in the diagnosis for more info. If you recently modified your A record, please wait for it to propagate (some DNS propagation checkers are available online). (If you know what you are doing, use '--no-checks' to turn off those checks.)

c.f. the error message:

Hmm. Ok, now the error in diagnosis is gone.

I had a /etc/hosts file on my OpenWRT router defining the domain.tld to the local IP address. I guess it didn’ tlike that. I’m not getting warnings in diagnosis right now. Hopefully the cert will renew itself in the morning.

EDIT: The cert renewed itself. So having a /etc/hosts file on my router is bad.
