Homelab Hero · No. 013: your result

Hero call. 100 Hero Points.

Exactly right. A fresh certificate takes minutes and keeps every service up tonight, including the photo backup. Verifying the new chain and expiry from outside the LAN proves the fix is the one the world actually sees — and the alert on the renewal job fixes the real bug in this story: a job that failed quietly for a week.

The lesson: Renew now, verify from outside, and never let a renewal job fail silently again.
