Duckdns renew certificate after expiration?

Configuration

Simple question: how to renew certificate after it is expired?

I installed HA exactly 3 months ago and now that duckdns is expired I need to renew it but I don’t know how to do (doc is not clear at all about renew… it was easy for 1st setup but not for renew)

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Sorry… but I realized that the suggested Yaml code is quite different from what I have in my configuration.yaml… which is the following

duckdns:
  domain: mydomain.duckdns.org
  access_token: xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
  
http:
  ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
  ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem

What should I change ?

Thanks

I have not used DuckDNS for over a year, so I don’t know. Try asking in the issue on github.

I asked on Github but nobody is replying…

Anyone else here knows how to renew duckdns certificate (I use the letsencrypt Addon)

Thanks

I solved myself… I post here the way I solved so can be usefull to someone else…

  1. I was using letsencrypt Addon (no Duckdns addon was installed but I was using duckdns account/certificate) and it did work from beginning for 3 month…
  2. now I realized that have to Uninstall letsencrypt Addon and Install Duckdns addon… and the certificate renew did work immediatelly… so this was the solution in my case…
