Hi, may I know if there are any specific reason why some of the system cronjob is not at 00 but instead 02 or 10 (i.e. 5:02 or 00:10 but not 05:00, 00:00)?
for example: usr/local/hestia/bin/v-update-letsencrypt-ssl is scheduled at 05:02
Hi,
In that case, Hestia generates a random hour and minute to set the cron job, in order to avoid tens of thousands of Hestia servers renewing their certificates at the same hour, minute, and second, which would act as a “DDoS” attack against the Let’s Encrypt servers.
