Is it possible to disable the password entry for the certificate's SSL key when restarting Apache?

Question

Information Security

Hello
The server is running Debian, Apache 2, mod_ssl.
Tell me how to do it right, from the point of view of security and convenience, so that when you restart the apache2 service, you do not have to enter the password for the SSL security key.
The only option so far I see is to remove the password.
openssl rsa -in key.pem -out newkey.pem

Answer 1

An extra headache in my opinion ... Given how the Apache loves to fall ...

Answer 2

From a security point of view, it's better not to do this :)
