Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Setting up a Homelab: Part 1 Proxmox and LetsEncrypt
A self-signed certificate was generated and used by Proxmox which will always generate a warning on the browser. I did not like seeing this when trying to work on my home lab. So, I started looking for ways to put a valid SSL certificate in Proxmox. During my research, I found that Proxmox could be made to integrate with acme.sh; a free SSL certificate generator powered by ACME(Let's Encrypt).

How to Build Email Server with Exim on Alma Linux 9
Next, we will install acme.sh, a command-line tool for managing SSL/TLS certificates. I prefer acme.sh over certbot, as it does not depend on the OS version. For more details about acme.sh, check its GitHub repo here.

Dehydrated: Letsencrypt/acme client implemented as a shell-script
A very relevant question. Acme.sh, a similar shell script ACME client, had a remote code execution problem last year.

Ask HN: What is your experience with ZeroSSL?
As a result, any certificates issued (or renewed) after Feb 8th will not work on older Android devices (< 7.1.1), unless the ACME client has been configure to request an alternate certificate chain. The "alternate chain" workaround will also stop working on June 6th.
I need to support these older Android devices so I am looking for alternatives. I have seen ZeroSSL mentioned a few times; it is also the default CA for acme.sh (the ACME client I am using nowadays) [2]. They have a number of paid plans but ACME certificates are free [3].
I'll be testing this over the next few days, but I would also like to ask if people here have experience with ZeroSSL (good or bad :-). Any feedback would be helpful.

Why Certificate Lifecycle Automation Matters
Huh, the environment variable thing was specifically aimed at acme.sh which rather arbitrarily changed the config value from ACMEDNS_UPDATE_URL to ACMEDNS_BASE_URL, never acknowledged this in a changelog and then silently failed after an automatic upgrade as recommended by the default install:
https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/commit/2ce145f359...
It's also cleared out my .account.conf files when run on the suggested cron.
I've started using updown which also monitors my TLS certs simply because I no longer trust the process to work as documented.

The Bureau of Meteorology website does not support connections via HTTPS
It depends on your provider though. I can tell from experience that with OVH and their API, it's been easy to set up the automatic renewal via DNS verification. Apparently, the official client has support for the DNS API of 159 providers: https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/dnsapi

I made a tool for automatically updating the current and next (rollover) TLSA DNS records with acme.sh and the Cloudflare API
For the few people here that happen to run a self-hosted email server with acme.sh for TLS key/cert generation and Cloudflare for DNS management, I have made a tool that i personally use to get a perfect 100% score on Internet.nl's email test.

How to get LetsEncrypt certs from PfSense/ACME to other machines? (automated??)
All of this is to say it's a decent amount of work to save the hassle of deploying certbot or acme.sh on the remote machines, pick your poison.

This is Fine
People wonder why I like using the shell-based ACME client like dehydrated (or acme.sh):
* https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=dehydrated
* https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh
Versus the official client certbot:
* https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python3-certbot
A kludgy as very long shell scripts are (thought to be), I have a better chance of being able to go through all the code and understand it than a dozen(+) Python libraries.

Interesting projects using WebAssembly
The following two examples are open-source projects maintained by Fermyon with contributions from companies like Microsoft and SUSE. The first is Spin, which allows us to use WebAssembly to create Serverless applications. The second, SpinKube, combines some of the topics I'm most excited about these days: WebAssembly and Kubernetes Operators :) The official website says, "By running applications in the Wasm abstraction layer, SpinKube offers developers a more powerful, efficient, and scalable way to optimize application delivery on Kubernetes." By the way, this post shows how to integrate SpinKube with Dapr, another technology I'm very interested in, and I should write some posts soon.

The Ambassador Pattern
Speaking of this has anyone had much experience with Dapr (https://dapr.io/) before?
I always thought this was a particularly interesting approach from Microsoft where they use this pattern to essentially take the complexity of micro services and instead try and keep it as simple as a normal .NET application but (and I think this is the clever part) in both a vendor and language neutral way.
But all of a sudden it means you can start removing all kinds of cruft and random SDKs from your codebase and push almost all of your interactions with the outside world into something like this .

Comparing Azure Functions vs Dapr on Azure Container Apps
Azure Container Apps hosting of Azure Functions is a way to host Azure Functions directly in Container Apps - additionally to App Service with and without containers. This offering also adds some Container Apps built-in capabilities like the Dapr microservices framework which would allow for mixing microservices workloads on the same environment with Functions.

Ensuring Seamless Operations: Troubleshooting and Resolving Dapr Certificate Expiry
A CNCF project, the Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) provides APIs that simplify microservice connectivity. Whether your communication pattern is service to service invocation or pub/sub messaging, Dapr helps you write resilient and secured microservices. Essentially, it provides a new way to build microservices by using the reusable blocks implemented as sidecars.

Understanding the Dapr workflow engine and workflow patterns in .NET (1hr webinar)
Dapr is a runtime that implements common patterns such as pub/sub, state storage, etc. It runs as a sidecar to your app. Your app then interfaces with it using an sdk or http calls to use said patterns instead of implementing those patterns directly yourself. Seems pretty cool to me, but you can find out more at https://dapr.io/.

Is Dapr actually used by anyone?

Modular Architecture Design question | Re-using modules in multiple applications
I would like to build modules, either in a modular monolith style, or in a microservice style using DAPR and/or Tye.
What are some alternatives?
letsencrypt - Certbot is EFF's tool to obtain certs from Let's Encrypt and (optionally) auto-enable HTTPS on your server. It can also act as a client for any other CA that uses the ACME protocol.

Nginx Proxy Manager - Docker container for managing Nginx proxy hosts with a simple, powerful interface
camel-k - Apache Camel K is a lightweight integration platform, born on Kubernetes, with serverless superpowers
