Hey everyone,

I'm curious to hear about how you handle distributing renewed TLS certificates (like from Let's Encrypt) to multiple machines or containers in your self-hosted setups.

Currently, I'm using a manual process involving rsync and then SSHing into each server to restart or reload services (like Nginx, Docker containers, etc.) after a certificate renews. This feels tedious and prone to errors.

For those not using full orchestration platforms (like Kubernetes), what are your preferred methods? Do you have custom scripts, use config management tools for just this task, or something else?

Looking forward to hearing your workflows and insights!
