I switched to Dehydrated (with dns-01 challenge), but Certbot itself is fine, the problem is the Nginx integration that tries to automatically change your Nginx config files.
Do you manually update the config every 3 months?
??? The location and the file name of the certificates don't change, so why would I have to do that?
On the contrary, before I disabled the certbot's Nginx integration, every three months certbot would "manage" to break my Nginx and I had to manually repair it.
I think we are not talking about the same thing. I mean the Certbot extension that automatically modifies the Nginx config files. A telltale sign are usually the comments "#managed by certbot” that it likes to leave behind all over your config files.
I've only really use caddy and my only experience with ngnix is ngnix proxy manager (which isn't really true ngnix).
I wasn't sure if hot swapping certs (even with same name was possible, kinda thought you would to reload it upon cert change).
Also regarding cert bot I have only used it in manual mode so it's managed mode is a bit foreign.
