What changed

The default Let's Encrypt contact (ACME_EMAIL) is changed from admin to monitoring in all places where the default is defined:

  • Traefik/.env: the ACME_EMAIL value.
  • Traefik/docker-compose.app.yaml: the fallback in ACME_EMAIL: ${ACME_EMAIL:-monitoring}.
  • Traefik/scripts/traefik-start.sh: the fallback in resolve_acme_email().
  • Traefik/README.md: the documented default in the variables table.

Why

ACME account contact mail should go to a mailbox that is actively monitored for certificate expiry and account notices. The monitoring local part (joined to TRAEFIK_DOMAIN when no @ is given) better fits that purpose than admin.

Notes

  • Behaviour is unchanged for values that contain @, which are still used as the full address.
  • Deployments that set ACME_EMAIL explicitly are not affected. Only the fallback default changes.
  • Existing ACME accounts keep their registered contact until the account is re-registered, so verify the new mailbox exists under TRAEFIK_DOMAIN before rolling out.
## What changed The default Let's Encrypt contact (`ACME_EMAIL`) is changed from `admin` to `monitoring` in all places where the default is defined: - `Traefik/.env`: the `ACME_EMAIL` value. - `Traefik/docker-compose.app.yaml`: the fallback in `ACME_EMAIL: ${ACME_EMAIL:-monitoring}`. - `Traefik/scripts/traefik-start.sh`: the fallback in `resolve_acme_email()`. - `Traefik/README.md`: the documented default in the variables table. ## Why ACME account contact mail should go to a mailbox that is actively monitored for certificate expiry and account notices.
