Resume downloading certificates

[uggyuggy]

Hi,

I tried to use the "Resume downloading certificates" feature as seen into the bottom of the config.sample.yaml but for now, I fail to see any ct_index.json file created.

I tried few different locations, (where the daemon should have write permissions) but I don't see any evidence of the feature working on my setup.

I searched some additional informations into the readme and the wiki but did not found something about this feature. ( the wiki/Configuration page does not mention those yaml keys either)

Is there any logs that should popup at daemon start that could help me debug what could be my issue ?

thank's !

Is there any logs that should popup at daemon start that could help me debug what could be my issue ?

The log should read something like this:

2025/09/30 01:40:08 logmetrics.go:171: Specified CT index file does not exist: 'path/to/certstream-server-go/ct_index.json'
2025/09/30 01:40:08 logmetrics.go:172: Creating CT index file now!

The config looks like this:

general:
  recovery:
    enabled: true
    ct_index_file: "./ct_index.json"

I searched some additional informations into the readme and the wiki but did not found something about this feature.

Yea, I should definitely update the wiki. Did you check the sample config? It kinda serves as a sort of lightweight documentation.

Hi @d-Rickyy-b

Did you check the sample config?

yes, as mentionned in my initial post, that's where I noticed that option does exists ;)

The log should read something like this:

Ok thx. I see nothing like that in the log at start.. Mmmm..

Not sure if something like Config: Recovery not enabled should appear in case it is not seen as enabled for whatever reason ? (If not, it may be useful to have a summary of all detected/not detected config options) in case of possible typo set in config etc..

Btw, I'm running certstream-server-go v1.8.1. I may check in which release it's been added to possibly try a previous version...

And will also try for other debugs attempts

Hi @d-Rickyy-b

Just tested again with:

$ wget https://github.com/d-Rickyy-b/certstream-server-go/releases/download/v1.8.1/certstream-server-go_1.8.1_linux_amd64
$ +x certstream-server-go_1.8.1_linux_amd64
$ ./certstream-server-go_1.8.1_linux_amd64 --version
certstream-server-go v1.8.1
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d-Rickyy-b/certstream-server-go/refs/heads/master/config.sample.yaml
$ ./certstream-server-go_1.8.1_linux_amd64 -config config.sample.yaml
2025/10/01 14:19:30 main.go:24: Starting certstream-server-go v1.8.1
2025/10/01 14:19:30 config.go:63: Reading config file 'config.sample.yaml'...
2025/10/01 14:19:30 config.go:112: File '/xxxx/xxxx/config.sample.yaml' exists
2025/10/01 14:19:30 certstream.go:57: Starting prometheus ...
...

But still there, I don't see anything like Specified CT index ... (and no created file ./ct_index.json) Btw also no trace of logmetrics.go in output

In case you have some ideas where I can test further ?

Btw, I'm running certstream-server-go v1.8.1. I may check in which release it's been added to possibly try a previous version...

Ahh, damn. I thought you were running the master branch. The changes have not been pushed into a release. See changes since last release (1.8.1): https://github.com/d-Rickyy-b/certstream-server-go/compare/v1.8.1...HEAD

[uggyuggy]

Ohhhh ok. Thank's. Will probably wait for the release.
