Summary

  • Document how to configure SSL bundle reloading with Let's Encrypt certificates renewed by Certbot or another ACME client.
  • Clarify that Spring Boot reloads externally updated files, but does not request or renew Let's Encrypt certificates.
  • Note that the file watcher follows the symlinks commonly used by Certbot's live directory.

Closes #38275

Testing

  • JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk/bin:$PATH ./gradlew :spring-boot-project:spring-boot-docs:antora
