Hey folks,

We are using lua-resty-auto-ssl which in turn uses dehydrated to dynamically generate certificates for our clients. We are using dedicated account to generate thousands of certificates. I assume it's important to maintain the same account. Would appreciate any guidance on how to properly copy over the account info to the new server.

Thanks!

I don't know what lua-resty-auto-ssl does, but normally dehydrated stores its accounts in the accounts subdirectory next to its config (or whatever is defined in the config itself). You should be able to just copy that directory over, and maybe also the certs directory to avoid reissuing thousands of certificates.
