Notes from UPDATING

These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING

2026-06-01

Affects: Users of security/lego

Author: matt@matthoran.com

Reason: 
  To migrate from lego v4 to v5 run

  $ lego migrate --path PREFIX/etc/ssl/lego

  as the LEGO_USER user. This command migrates to a new file structure and
  outputs configuration that can be used as the basis for ETCDIR/lego.yml. See
  https://go-acme.github.io/lego/references/ref-file/index.html for more
  details on the configuration file format.

  ETCDIR/lego.sh will need to be updated as well, as the renew command has been
  removed. The script can also be simplified when a configuration file is used.
  See ETCDIR/lego.sh.sample for an example.
