Fritzbox Fritz!Box AVM SSL Letsencrypt automatically update
#!/bin/bash
## this little Gist is for Copy the Letsencrypt Cert from an Linux machine (e.g. Raspberry PI or Synology NAS)
## to the router (Fritzbox).
## It is usefull to be able to speak to the Router over DDNS without any Cert issue in the Browser.
## thanks to https://gist.github.com/mahowi for the perfect Idea
## put it in /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/post so it gets run after every renewal.
## since Fritz OS 7.25 it is needed to select a Username, from a security point of view
## it is always a good idea to have a non default user name. And as normaly a Fritz Box
## is connected to the Internet, the prefered method should be WITH Username.

@mbo77 What a pity. But thanks for sharing the answer. At least I'll list the Fritz!Repeater 1200 AX with 7.57 as unsupported. Unfortunately there is no easy way to get the product name and the OS version from a fritzbox to check it.

Hello,
I want to share my experience.
The script worked well. At a certain point it looks not working properly: no error prompted and no certificate imported.
After troubleshooting it I've discovered the issue was related to letsencrypt that changed from rsa to ecdsa. I replaced in the letsencrypt configuration file as below
#key_type = ecdsa
key_type = rsa
And now is working well back.
hope my experience will help you.

(tested with fritz7590 and 7530ax both version 7.57)
