Install a letsencrypt certificate on RadyNAS 6.10.5 hotfix 1
Hi, my apache2 pem file somehow got corrupted with the upgrade to ReadyNAS OS 6.10.5, so I bit the bullet and fixed it by installing a letsencrypt certificate using acme.sh As it might help others (...

I can add here. I did not manage to resolve issues with the "--dns dns_cf"-mode installation.
I managed to resolve by using the built in apache-mode
/root/.acme.sh/acme.sh --issue --apache -d www.domain.com
As I did some iterations that finally worked with the command above, I was forced to send the renew-hook string separately. I hope this will work. We will see in 60 days...
/root/.acme.sh/acme.sh --list --renew-hook "cat /root/.acme.sh/www.domain.com/fullchain.cer /root/.acme.sh/www.domain.com/www.domain.com.key >/etc/frontview/apache/apache2.pem && service apache2 restart"
jbernardoThanks for this hint. Great that there is an easy way to install a certificate, as the certbot is not supported any more with the latest OS-update...

el_patron I should probably have detailed more the parameters to pass to acme.sh. -dns is to use a dns api, in this case dns_cf for cloudflare.
And looking at the acme.sh dnsapi wiki , I see that I didn't add the rest of the instructions - in particular to get the cloudflare API key, and export it as an environment variable before calling acme.sh
Anyway, I recommend checking the acme.sh wiki, in particular the command line parameters page, and also the above mentioned dnsapi documentation if you're using a supported DNS provider.

Would this work on older ReadyNAS OS4 devices? I have a NVX Pioneer Edition
