ACME Client does not sync

[anomaly0617]

Has anyone mentioned that the ACME client does not stay synchronized together with HA?

I see where some settings come over, but specifically certificates are not being copied, so if one server has the certificates and the other doesn't, when they flip-flop, suddenly a bunch of sites come up with non-existant/expired certificates. This is happening using the HAProxy Reverse Proxy solution. HAProxy is sync'ing up, but ACME-Client isn't.

acme-client can't run in HA mode.. it's just two separate instances creating certificates independently. I reckon this is going to be an issue syncing other configuration and mismatching on these different certificate pools.

Caddy can do that.  8)

It can issue certificates on master and backup OPNsense automatically at the same time.
