I know this could be a bit disturbing, but for now it's not possible to start
without a certificate if your certificate is not configured in a "crt-store".
That's explain in the "limitations" part of the current ACME documentation:
https://docs.haproxy.org/3.3/configuration.html#acme%20(ACME)
Full Ack.
That's the config.
```
global
[snipp]
# ============================================================
# Certificate Store – zentraler Speicherort
# ============================================================
crt-store lets_encrypt
crt-base /mnt
Here your crt-store isn't used at all, the crt-base only applies on this store,
so basically you need to add your certificate + acme configuration there. Like
it's done in https://github.com/haproxy/wiki/wiki/ACME:--native-haproxy
Hope this helps.
Yes very much.
Is there any plan to fix this limitation in the future versions?
Regards,
Best Regards
Aleks
