There have been lots of posts about Docker on the FreeNAS forums over the last 12 months, and I didn’t pay much attention to them. I could do everything I needed through a combination of Jails and VirtualBox VM’s so why did I need Docker?

I thought after the successful renewal of my certificates here, I’d set up a certbot cron task to run every day that should automagically renew any certificates due to expire within the next 30 days 😉 (more…)
