## Pre-Hooks and Post-Hooks
The Pre- and Post-Hooks of [acme.sh](https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/) are available through the corresponding environment variables. This allows to trigger actions just before and after certificates are issued (see [acme.sh documentation](https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/Using-pre-hook-post-hook-renew-hook-reloadcmd))
The Pre- and Post-Hooks of [acme.sh](https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/) are available through the corresponding environment variables. This allows to trigger actions just before and after certificates are issued (see [acme.sh documentation](https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/Using-pre-hook-post-hook-renew-hook-reloadcmd)).
#### Pre-Hook
This command will be run before certificates are issued. For example `echo 'start'`:
If you set `ACME_PRE_HOOK` and/or `ACME_POST_HOOK` on the **acme-companion** container, **the actions for all certificates will be the same**. If you want specific actions to be run for specific certificates, set the `ACME_PRE_HOOK` / `ACME_POST_HOOK` environment variable(s) on the proxied container(s) instead. Default (on the **acme-companion** container) and per-container `ACME_PRE_HOOK` / `ACME_POST_HOOK` environment variables aren't combined : if both default and per-container variables are set for a given proxied container, the per-container variables will take precedence over the default.
If you want to run the same default hooks for most containers but not for some of them, you can set the `ACME_PRE_HOOK` / `ACME_POST_HOOK` environment variables to the Bash noop operator (ie, `ACME_PRE_HOOK=:`) on those containers.
#### Pre-Hook: `ACME_PRE_HOOK`
This command will be run before certificates are issued.
For example `echo 'start'` on the **acme-companion** container (setting a default Pre-Hook):

#### Verification:
If you want to check wether the hook-command is delivered properly to [acme.sh](https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/), you should check `/etc/acme.sh/[EMAILADDRESS]/[DOMAIN]/[DOMAIN].conf`.
The variable `Le_PreHook` contains the Pre-Hook-Command base64 encoded.

#### Limitations
* The commands that can be used in the hooks are limited to the commands available inside the **acme-companion** container. `curl` and `wget` are available, therefore it is possible to communicate with tools outside the container via HTTP, allowing for complex actions to be implemented outside or in other containers.
* The hooks are general options, therefore **the actions for all certificates are the same**.
#### Use-cases
* Change some firewall rules just for the issuing process of the certificates, so the ports 80 and/or 443 don't have to be publicly reachable at all time.
* Changing some firewall rules just for the ACME authorization, so the ports 80 and/or 443 don't have to be publicly reachable at all time.
* Certificate "post processing" / conversion to another format.
* Monitoring.

The `LETSENCRYPT_RESTART_CONTAINER` environment variable, when set to `true` on an application container, will restart this container whenever the corresponding cert (`LETSENCRYPT_HOST`) is renewed. This is useful when certificates are directly used inside a container for other purposes than HTTPS (e.g. an FTPS server), to make sure those containers always use an up to date certificate.
#### Pre-Hook and Post-Hook
The `ACME_PRE_HOOK` and `ACME_POST_HOOK` let you use the [`acme.sh` Pre- and Post-Hooks feature](https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/Using-pre-hook-post-hook-renew-hook-reloadcmd) to run commands respectively before and after the container's certificate has been issued.
