Intentionally so, I'm just struggling to describe the behavior in a straightforward way.
Maybe:
- If you set an installer, it will get reloaded at renewal time (via
certbot renew
). This is the case even if the certificate was created usingcertonly
. (--nginx
is shorthand for--authenticator nginx --installer nginx
). - In an upcoming release, the
certonly
verb will also reload the installer, if one is specified.
