Traefik never requests a certificate for a name it already holds one
for, so the XMPP certificate came out without asxp.io, the XMPP domain
itself. ejabberd picks the matching certificate file per domain, so push
two: the site's asxp.io certificate and xmpp.asxp.io + conference.
The receiver takes the name from the SSH command (asxp.io or a
subdomain), checks the certificate matches it, and retires the
hand-made server.pem once both files are in place.
A second probe on 5223 sends SNI asxp.io, as clients do, and the
outdated-certificate alert compares each served certificate with its
source in acme.json.

The ejabberd certificate (asxp.io, conference., xmpp.) was issued by
hand and expires 2027-01-28 with nothing renewing it. Traefik now
obtains it alongside the sites' certificates, through a router that
only exists to request it, and a systemd path unit on ops pushes it to
services whenever acme.json changes, with a daily run as fallback.
The push uses its own SSH key, accepted from ops' VPC address only and
forced to xmpp-cert-install, which checks the certificate is valid for
another day and matches its key before replacing server.pem and
reloading ejabberd.
Two alerts: the sync hasn't succeeded for two days, or ejabberd serves
an older certificate than Traefik holds for six hours. The existing
expiry alert already covers port 5223.

Nothing watched the servers: tonight's asxpio crash loop was found by
hand. On asxpio-ops, Prometheus (30 days), Loki (14 days) and Grafana
at gf.asxp.io (WireGuard only), with blackbox_exporter probing every
service from outside and postgres_exporter. On both hosts node_exporter
and cAdvisor on the VPC address, and Alloy shipping container logs, the
journal and Traefik's access log to Loki over the VPC.
Traefik and Forgejo expose their metrics; restic and the bucket replica
record their last success for node_exporter. Dashboards: an overview as
home, plus hosts, containers, Traefik, probes, Postgres and logs.
Alerts by email to me@asxp.io: host or service down, certificate under
14 days, disk or memory nearly full, a container restart-looping,
Postgres down, backup or replica stale.
