@thecjharries This is fale. --renew-hook has not been replaced by --deploy-hook. --deploy-hook works differently from --renew-hook:
--pre-hook and --post-hook hooks run before and after every renewal attempt. If you want your hook to run only after a successful renewal, use --deploy-hook
@Freekers correct. Although, down below on the same doc's page it says
--pre-hook PRE_HOOK Command to be run in a shell before obtaining any
certificates. Intended primarily for renewal, where it
can be used to temporarily shut down a webserver that
might conflict with the standalone plugin. This will
only be called if a certificate is actually to be
obtained/renewed. When renewing several certificates
that have identical pre-hooks, only the first will be
executed. (default: None)
So, will --pre-hook and --post-hook only be called if a certificate is actually to be obtained/renewed, not before and after every renewal attempt ?
Sounds like a renewal attempt is when a certificate is actually to be obtained/renewed. One would think that a check for whether a certificate needs to be renewed at this time is part of a renewal attempt. Apparently, not.
So, basically, the only difference between pre/post and deploy in that sense is based on a chance of renewal failing, not whether it was "required"
As of
0.17,--renew-hookhas been replaced with--deploy-hook. So far, it looks like it's a straight-forward facade. However, there's no guarantee it won't be completely removed now that it's changed.
