# Incron

A 'cron' daemon that watches the filesystem for changes and performs actions. This is used to auto-apply config for Caddy and Unbound.

This is here mainly to facilitate auto-reloads of Caddy/Unbound during setup and over time. This is especially helpful if using acme.sh for Let's Encrypt certificates as they are regularly updated and once updated need a restart of the Caddy service. This config takes care of that situation as well as updated DNS records in Unbound.
