Custom SSL Cert renewal automation - Lets Encrypt

[TheLargeFries]

Hi All,

 

I am new to unraid, and recently got my domain SSL cert to work with the GUI of unraid. I am using the NGINX Proxy Manager docker container to renew a wildcard cert, and proxy a handful of containers to force SSL. I haven't quite figured out how to automate the renewal for the WebUI though.. right now, I manually need to move the updated cert to /boot/config/ssl/certs/server-name_unraid_bundle.pem (and append the key into the file, since unraid needs it all in one file).

 

I think the easiest solution would be to run a weekly bash script to copy whatever cert is in my NPM docker into the unraid webui folder, probably weekly or monthly. is there a specific place to write/store a script that would persist after a reboot?

 

or, is there a more elegant solution?

 

Thanks!

Anything on /boot/ is on the flash drive and will persist.

 

I'd recommend creating /boot/config/custom/ and placing your scripts in there. 

 

Or take a look at the User Scripts plugin, it is a nice way to manage custom scripts.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. I'll likely use the user scripts plugin to schedule the job too.
