I'm sorry I put HSTS too early. I put it down the 6 months without
includeSubdomains on devuan.org so that we have a buffer for new
connections. It won't change what's already there but at least make it
easier for next changes.

As soon as the LE issue arised I proposed we could buy a certificate,
specifically one from Gandi as I have contacts there for a sponsorship.
The idea was to "buy it first, deal it later".

Anyway, I've been trying different things, registering files only, or
files and vagrant, the authorizations work every single time, but the
program dumps an error on on certificate generation (in testing and
production modes): Error creating new cert :: Authorizations for these
names not found or expired: -w, certs/files.devuan.org
(Acme::Client::Error::Unauthorized).

This error seems to be related to **rate limits** which should be over
_already_. I used the exact same process for other certs and it worked
fine. There are open issues at LE for reporting information about the
delay (and reason of rate limiting), but it's pending.

A global solution would be to use devuan.net or dev-1.org instead of .org.

Also, I don't have access to packages.devuan.org (46.105.191.77), so
can't do anything there.

Yes, this is an issue I hope this list can fix.

Can you be a bit more specific? I can understand the frustration at the
TLS issue, but what else?

+1 (and be responsive on gitlab issues!)
