I can't speak to certbot (I currently use acmetool) but in general, the thing that certbot does requires the ability to signal whatever process is using the certificates, which is normally going to be a web server but might be a mail server, name server, RADIUS server, or some other application -- as shown in the example above. So if you don't run it as root (probably smart) you'll need to find another way to tell the TLS server application to reload its certificates when needed. -GAWollman _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
