Icecast - Mar 2022 - Icecast2 and SSL certificate renewal

Hi 

I have a question about current best-practice for renewing SSL certificates for
Icecast.
I am looking into automating the renewal process for my SSL certificate using
Let?s Encrypt.
However, it?s my understanding that the Icecast server would need to be
restarted each time the automatic process takes place (every 3 months) which I
think would be disruptive to running a continuous streaming service.
All the listeners would be kicked off the streams.

I?d like to know if anyone knows of a better solution or if this is just an
unavoidable problem in terms of running streams via HTTPS.

Thanks for any help

Damian

Hi Damian,

Kill -HUP $PID

That will reload the config without stop the streams.
