Originally created by @FoxxMD on GitHub (Jan 31, 2025).

The readme, certs wiki page, and dns providers wiki page do not specify some basic information about what autocert entails. Please clarify these points:

  • Is autocert an ACME client implementation?
  • Are the SSL certs being generated for internal or external use?
    • IE IF i use cloudflare dns provider am I generating a CF origin cert or a true SSL cert for public use?
  • If generating a true SSL cert, is the provider LetsEncrypt? If not, then what? Are there other providers available to use?
  • Does autocert automatically renew certs when they are close to expiration? Does it renew every time the container is started? Do I have to manually renew?
  • If I specify multiple domains for autocert does it generate one cert for multiple domains or one cert per domain?

Sorry for the confusion, let me clarify it:

Is autocert an ACME client implementation?

autocert uses https://github.com/go-acme/lego, just like Traefik and similar go written reverse proxies. It grabs a cert using ACME and Let's Encrypt by DNS-01 challenge.

Are the SSL certs being generated for internal or external use

SSL certs obtained are for external use

is the provider LetsEncrypt

Yes, as stated in point 1

If I specify multiple domains for autocert does it generate one cert for multiple domains or one cert per domain?

ALl domains in one cert. (Stated here https://github.com/yusing/go-proxy/wiki/Certificates-and-domain-matching#certificates)

Sorry I may have closed the issue too fast. Can you provide any details on this?

Does autocert automatically renew certs when they are close to expiration? Does it renew every time the container is started? Do I have to manually renew?

autocert automatically renew certs 1 month before expiration, 1 hour cooldown for every failed requests.

It only renew when these conditions are met:

  • autocert.domains does not match current certs
  • certs are about to expire in a month

So

Does it renew every time the container is started

No, it renews only when it have to.

Do I have to manually renew?

No, you don't have to.
