Will it renew the TLS certificate? #1

Closed pearj closed 2 years ago

pearj commented 2 years ago

I’ve looked through the Dockerfile and run.sh and I can’t see how it will renew the TLS certificate. Ie I don’t see it running cron in the background or anything like that.

Is cron magically running or is renewals a todo?

I’m new to Home Assistant plug-ins so apologies if this is an obvious question.

@pearj There is no cron. You can setup a Home Assistant Automation to run the Add-on when you need it to. See https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/basics/ Example

- id: renew-certificate
  alias: Renew Certificate
  trigger:
  - platform: time

  action:
  - service: hassio.addon_restart
    data:
      addon: bea82187-acme-sh
  initial_state: true
  mode: single

Thanks @wernerhp, yeah that would work true. I then found that I'd have to restart home assistant itself to pick up the new certificates which isn't ideal. I found a post suggesting to use a reverse proxy and get it to do the SSL, so I switched to using Caddy instead.
