There seem to be some issues using dehydrated under FreeBSD atm, need to investigate further...

These issues are likely similar on OpenBSD too. At a cursory glance, things like using \s with grep and/or sed instead of [[:space:]] seem to be the primary gnuisms.

I hacked my copy of dehydrated to work by forcing it to use gsed, gawk and ggrep; if making the script POSIX-compliant is too much work, then making it so that it checks for and explicitly uses those commands on non-Linux platforms is a good idea.

I made #761 which works for me; more testing needed though.

After upgrading from 0.6.5 (which works) to 0.6.6 I'm getting this error:

# INFO: Using main config file /usr/local/etc/dehydrated/config
+ Fetching account URL...
ERROR: Problem connecting to server (head for ; curl returned with 3)
ERROR: Problem connecting to server (post for ; curl returned with 3)

... and it bails out here without doing anything.

This is running on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p10 GENERIC amd64

Using oranenj's patched version is working with http-01, although a --cron run has only processed domains.txt with no renewals yet needed.

Hopefully there's a universally working version again soon.

@morganwdavis could you check if you are still getting errors with the current master branch?

Version 0.6.6 confirmed working again on FreeBSD 12.1.

MD5 (dehydrated.sh) = 44d2ff6866cc31dddeef935f099f6690

Thank you, Lukas, and contributors.

Closing as this should be fixed by now.
