Hey, I’m using my own certificates. If the cert files are modified (For example when they are renewed) does the apps (containers) automatically detect it and use the new cert files or I’m required to restart the containers?

As far as I can tell these are the containers that use the cert files:

  • dovecot-mailcow
  • postfix-mailcow
  • nginx-mailcow
  • acme-mailcow
  • watchdog-mailcow
  • dovecot-mailcow

Do I have to manually restart the containers when I renew the certificates?

Thank you!

Have something to say?

DocFraggle Thank you! In the example script I see it only restarts postfix, dovecot and nginx, I understand I won’t need to restart the acme container but what about watchdog?

    Why do you think watchdog uses the certificate?

      DocFraggle It mounts the cert directory:

      volumes:
        - rspamd-vol-1:/var/lib/rspamd
        - mysql-socket-vol-1:/var/run/mysqld/
        - postfix-vol-1:/var/spool/postfix
        - ./data/assets/ssl:/etc/ssl/mail/:ro,z

        Afaik you don’t need to restart watchdog
