Default HSTS pinning time and Let's Encrypt certificate life time
Summary
Let's encrypt will only serve you a 3 month certificate and the default HSTS value is one year. When this 3 month period from LE expires, you are stuck with a broken domain and will have to move domains.
Steps to reproduce
- Set up gitlab to get a Let's Encrypt certificate and watch what happens after 3 months.
Example Project
N/A
What is the current bug behavior?
Not screwing the domain over by allowing a default HSTS value to be greater than LE's 3 month period if you are using LE certificates.
What is the expected correct behavior?
See above.

Possible fixes
When gitlab-ctl reconfigure
ing don't allow when LE certs are being used to have a HSTS timer higher than 3 months.
