  • blackbox_exporter

    Blackbox prober exporter

  • Or with Prometheus: https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter

    https endpoints will include the probe_ssl_earliest_cert_expiry metric, which is the expiration in UNIX epoch seconds. Use with the builtin time() function.

  • https-portal

    A fully automated HTTPS server powered by Nginx, Let's Encrypt and Docker.

  • If you use LetsEncrypt and Docker, I can recommend HTTPS Portal to automatically manage your SSL certs: https://github.com/SteveLTN/https-portal

    I use it for my blog and have never had any issues with certs being renewed well in advance of their expiration date.
