I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.
I manage all my certs using Cert Warden which has a dashboard that displays the expiry date. It does lack alerting, so I use Uptime-kuma to monitor the expiry dates of the certs. So not a big loss for me.
TIL Cert Warden is a thing. Looks awesome!

This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.
Then swap you nameservers to a DNS provider that allows that?
I just wish I wouldn’t have to renew certs so often.
If Apple gets their way, you’ll be renewing every month:
Fuck Apple and Microshit
PSA: If you use Cloudflare to proxy, you can get a free decade long certificate and not worry about it for awhile.
Mine just auto renews anyway
I think thats the case for most of us. But for some like myself, it does mean I have to do the monitoring myself now. I can’t complain it was a free service. But it did warn me about a renewal problem before the cert expired, so it was a useful service for me.
