Traefik cert dumper container

[ghost]

Hello,

Does this container need to stay running once the setup is complete?

I think it may be causing issues as I keep having to accept the self-signed certificate in my browser, indicating that it is dumping a new cert?

Thanks.

The cert dumper should only export the traefik certs to /opt/nextcloud/traefik/certs|private so they can be used by other container which are not behind the traefik proxy (e.g. talk).

The reason why you get new selfsigned certs might be a restart of the trafik container. But I'm not sure what causes traefik to generate a new cert.

The traefik dumper container seems to be in a constant restarting state. So I stopped it. This is ok? I don’t have talk or anything else deployed.

[ReinerNippes]

yes. that's ok. I'll check why it restart's. Is there something usefull in docker logs certdumper?

I'm using self-signed certs atm. Here are the logs from the container.

@ReinerNippes can I safely not use this container then if I don’t deploy talk?

[ReinerNippes]

yes. i think so.
