Make it possible to disable socat warning

[bleedchf]

Hello everybody,

I am using acme.sh with the DNS-Extension/Challenge for wildcard certificates. I run a daily cron that takes care of my certificates, OCSP and other connection related stuff. Within that daily script, I execute the following command:

/home/tls/.acme.sh/acme.sh --upgrade > /dev/null

So far so good. If there is an upgrade available however, I ALWAYS get this notification on stderr on a successful upgrade:

[Mon Sep 22 04:20:02 AM CEST 2025] It is recommended to install socat first.
[Mon Sep 22 04:20:02 AM CEST 2025] We use socat for the standalone server, which is used for standalone mode.
[Mon Sep 22 04:20:02 AM CEST 2025] If you don't want to use standalone mode, you may ignore this warning.

Is it possible to permanently disable or remove that warning? I did not & do not & nor will I ever run acme.sh in standalone mode. Neither do I have the intention to install socat. Ever.

Sure, I could mute stderr. But I would like to know if something goes wrong on an upgrade... So is it possible to disable/remove this warning completely?

As said before, not everybody is using the standalone mode and the lack of socat is surely not a error for those users.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Please upgrade to the latest code and try again first. Maybe it's already fixed. acme.sh --upgrade If it's still not working, please provide the log with --debug 2, otherwise, nobody can help you.
