Doc Gap ? : Updating an Expiring Load Balancer Certificate

Jim DicksonJul 19 2025 — edited Jul 19 2025

I have been trying and failing to setup Oracle HSM Vault & OCI Certificate Authority - possibly a subject for another post (but any advice appreciated)

So I will instead try to use (GoDaddy &) Let's Encrypt certbot on a compute instance and then want a way to automatically upload renewed certificate to OCI Application Load Balancer NB Will have 2+ listeners, each with own cert.

Before I waste more time, I hope community and/or Oracle can advise whether this is feasible.

Documentation https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Balance/Tasks/update_certificate.htm does not show CLI approach.

Blogs e.g.

https://www.ateam-oracle.com/post/automatic-certificate-renewal-in-oci-load-balancer uses script but no content shown.

https://www.ateam-oracle.com/post/get-certificates-from-lets-encrypt-for-your-oci-services-the-easy-way seems to rely on some python-esque plugin (certbot-dns-oci plug-in ?)

Am I missing something obvious ?

To clarify I want to upload directly from compute instance to ALB - not via buckets or any intermediary unless strictly required.
