Hi, I use nginx-proxy-manager to manage my certificates. My mailcow runs on different vm. I can successfully import the certificate by using instructions for the [post hook script](https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/firststeps-rp/#optional-post-hook-script-for-non-mailcow-acme-clients), but I'm looking for advice on best way how to automate this now. I'm thinking sharing the cert directory over nfs to mailcow vm, and then use something like inotifywait to run the post hook script and restart the 3 containers if the files change. If you're using the post hook script how do you manage the renews automatically?

How to automate cert renew with the non-mailcow-acme post hook script?

I forgot about this, but here is the solution I’m using:

#!/bin/bash scp pi@192.168.1.101:/home/pi/docker/nginx-proxy-manager/letsencrypt/live/npm-29/fullchain.pem /opt/mailcow-dockerized/data/assets/ssl/cert.pem scp pi@192.168.1.101:/home/pi/docker/nginx-proxy-manager/letsencrypt/live/npm-29/privkey.pem /opt/mailcow-dockerized/data/assets/ssl/key.pem postfix_c=$(docker ps -qaf name=postfix-mailcow) dovecot_c=$(docker ps -qaf name=dovecot-mailcow) nginx_c=$(docker ps -qaf name=nginx-mailcow) docker restart ${postfix_c} ${dovecot_c} ${nginx_c}
