Zarper 2 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hello, I recently set my Emby Server up with Let's Encrypt and now I'm looking for a way to reload the config file after renewing the certificate without having to restart the entire server. Neither SIGHUP nor service reload is set up for this purpose. Is there any other way to accomplish this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsuke 27 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 This solution may not be for everyone, but I front my Emby instance with an nginx reverse proxy, which terminates TLS. My Let's Encrypt certs are generated in a different jail. After the certs are generated once a week via a cron job, I just restart my nginx proxy also via a cron job.

Zarper 2 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi, what config file exactly do you mean? I guess whatever one that looks where the cert is located. It's quite common to use the SIGHUP or service reload to just reload all configurations without terminating the daemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37063 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Currently the cert is loaded on startup, so i guess for now you'd have to continue doing that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarper 2 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Could I make a feature request for the ability to reload the cert without having to restart? I believe more people are using Emby with Let's Encrypt and since the expiration dates are short it increases the likelihood of a frequent restart to interrupt someone's session.
