I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.
- What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
- What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
- What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?
??? The location and the file name of the certificates don’t change, so why would I have to do that?
On the contrary, before I disabled the certbot’s Nginx integration, every three months certbot would “manage” to break my Nginx and I had to manually repair it.
I think we are not talking about the same thing. I mean the Certbot extension that automatically modifies the Nginx config files. A telltale sign are usually the comments "#managed by certbot” that it likes to leave behind all over your config files.
I’ve only really use caddy and my only experience with ngnix is ngnix proxy manager (which isn’t really true ngnix).
I wasn’t sure if hot swapping certs (even with same name was possible, kinda thought you would to reload it upon cert change).
Also regarding cert bot I have only used it in manual mode so it’s managed mode is a bit foreign.
