I have been using Let’s Encrypt for my site certificates for a few years now. Something about that price of ‘free’ makes it appealing.
I recently bought a new computer. I work in IT and should be able to handle that with no issue.
When I got my new computer, I copied all my relevant data over and ejected the old computer from the world.
What I did not do, was capture all the weird hoops I had setup to painfully renew the certs for my sites each quarter.
I have been renewing the certs since around October of 2020. It isn’t fun, and it isn’t automated.
Today, I realized that it has been 90 days since I renewed them last. And I realized that I didn’t have all the janky garbage on my computer that I used to renew them.
So I went looking for the right tools to do it. I found a much cleaner, much less painful way to do it.
This tool was made for me: AZ ACME | AZ ACME
I hope this gives it more (positive) attention, because it worked great for me.
