cron script with letsencrypt is more modular as sometimes I work with several webservers behind a reverse proxy.

@rootshell Yes, for anyone who wants this. For everyone else, caddy is best IMO.

@vortexman100 Yeah um, there are already a lot of these "easy" web server packages.
For LAMP nothing will beat Apache2 or nginx.
MEAN has node.js.
Why overcomplicate things with more tools when there are already tools that do the job well?
I get there has to be innovation but if you use fringe software you are going to have a bad time adapting to a company.
Honestly apache/nginx or nodejs aren't tbat bad to set up and configure.
Also almost all businesses have an purchased SSL cert from a provider. thus you generally already have to write a cron script for refreshing the license... -
I'd love to but it's not working for my architecture (network, proxies etc) but I'll try to get help at their forums soon!
-
@vortexman100 I'm talking about using tools which have way more documentation & troubleshoot help because they are the standard.
-
@rootshell Great. I like Caddy more and recommend it for anyone who doesnt want to deal with more difficult and manual server setups.

Guys, please use caddyserver as your webserver! It creates official tls certs for you without you having to do anything. Help making the web secure. There are too many websites that do not have any security.
