Hi Colin,

 

Great work. I have some suggestion:

 

  • move all files from /etc/ or /var/www/dehydrated to a subfolder of /shared/

     

    during upgrades, these files may be ignored and have to be recreated. /shared/ folder is kept unchanged between versions.
  • replace cron with icall like lnxgeek did.

     

    This is the recommended automated tool in BigIP.
