Renew certificate for dovecot etc

3nt3

I am running mailcow behind nginx as an reverse proxy and the lets encrypt certificate that was probably generated on install has now expired and I can not find a way to renew it / use another one.

For troubleshooting the acme-container we may need to see the logs to find out why it doesnt renew anymore.

For using your own certs you may check the docs: https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/firststeps-ssl/#how-to-use-your-own-certificate

I am sure it can help, but please check this

https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/firststeps-ssl/#force-renewal

if you want to renew it

Ok, here’s what I did:

rewrite the nginx configuration that was partially written by me and partially overwritten by certbot with the configuration suggested in the documentation: https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/firststeps-rp/#nginx
restart nginx
restart all mailcow containers
acme-mailcow automatically does everything.
