Ah, the little things. I tested certificate renewals and it failed for wildcard certificates. Those need DNS updates to work [1]. Which seemed to fail. Turns out I needed to reboot the machine with the CA (Certificate Authority) container as that container was still using the old DNS server. Fixed. All wildcard certificates in my homelab renewed :)

OK. The DNS server has been moved, it works perfectly. Now just to wait a day until all those forgotten little gizmos in my home network did their DHCP refresh and got the new DNS server. The Certificate Authority move needs more work than expected, so I'll postpone that for the moment.

Last week I wanted to move my local DNS server and Certificate Authority to another machine. It didn't happen as I was called to help someone with moving a washing machine, which included a nice trip to the Lake of Constance. So. Let's try to get this done this weekend.

And done. All servers came back as expected. I also updated the three forgejo-runner instances to 12.7.3. Weekend can start :)
