The acme.sh script / utility is very useful when working with (free) SSL certificates issued by Let’s Encrypt (LE), ZeroSSL and other providers. It’s featured in a number of the guides I’ve written and a quick search will turn up lots of content, but this is to bring my notes together into one place. As ever, replace mylab.domain and server.mylab.domain...
Pi-Hole v6 stops using lighttpd and has it’s own internal web server, so this means a change getting Let’s Encrypt certificates deployed. Having finally upgraded my Pi-Hole install to v6, I needed to tidy this up. We no longer need acme.sh to renew the lighttpd certificate, so to see the current renewal job, run: Pi-Hole needs the certificate and private key...
I wanted to get the result of a PowerShell (PS) script into PRTG to monitor the result of the script. This proved to be more challenging than I expected, mainly as there are some “gotchas” if you are running the script on a remote server/PC using the PRTG Remote Probe. The key things which I learnt (aka tripped me up!)...
I’ve spent an age going round the houses to find the right PowerShell Graph SDK commands to retrieve a list of the contents of the root of a Personal OneDrive (ie not OneDrive for Business!). I was trying get MgDriveItem, but some trial & error, plus using the Graph SDK Explorer eventually turned up the right commend Remove the -debug...
My original post on configuring PRTG to use a Let’s Encrypt certificate can be found here. In the time since I set that up, the process has changed (for the better). The biggest change is v5.x of Certify the Web (CtW) introduced Deployment Tasks. This means we no longer need to use a PowerShell script to get the certificate files...
Since writing my original instructions for using a Let’s Encrypt (LE) SSL certificate to secure the Lighttpd web server used by Pi-Hole back in 2020, lots has changed. A double disk drop-out in my server (argh!) meant I needed to build a new Pi-Hole VM, so I took the chance to move to the current Ubuntu LTS (22.04). I’m still...
