FAQ

• When executing a command that connects to MongoDB, I get "certificate verify failed: certificate has expired" error. What do I do?
  The Root CA the Mongo Atlas uses has expired. Install ISRG Root X1, ISRG Root X2 and Let's Encrypt R3 certificates from here.
• How could I run Pomelo from AWS?
  Ahh, those were the days. Use crontab together with nohup. You should find a relevant, thorough guide somewhere.
