ACME with Google Domains using a DNS Zone in GCS DNS
This seems to be not implemented in certbot, yet: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/6566

OpenSpeedTest in docker through DSM Reverse Proxy - incorrect upload speeds
If you do go with NPM or Traefik, under the covers it's using certbot to request/renew your certificates through Let's Encrypt using the DNS-01 challenge, meaning you can get wildcard certs and don't have to futz around with port forwards. Again I'd think Caddy has similar functionality, I just have not used it personally. Raw NGINX you probably don't want to try out yet considering it requires manually doing the configs
- Certbot run.bat file identified as batloader trojan by windows defender. Windows defender alerted me of a trojan which appears to simply be the startup batch script for certbot. Currently running full system scan, but I suspect it to be a false positive. Any ideas?

Snap Store administrators removed signal-desktop from Ubuntu Snap
certbot won't be missed. The code quality is pretty poor.
https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues 5000 bugs and it most of it can be replaced by much smaller tools

Let's Encrypt Certbot Not Working on FreeBSD
I am trying to migrate off of Linux and back to FreeBSD, but I hit a problem today. The Let's Encrypt Certbot is not installing. A bit surprising, given how important it is. So I thought I would notify the community Here is my bug report. https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/9394

Uacme: ACMEv2 client written in plain C with minimal dependencies
Right? It’s so ridiculous how you’re supposed to use Snap to install certbot. The (well, one of..) GitHub discussion is just beyond the pale:

Let’s Encrypt Receives the Levchin Prize for Real-World Cryptography
It goes way beyond, since Let's Encrypt influence the ecosystem a lot and the standards that are used.
If you use Let's Encrypt, you are likely using Certbot, which means that everybody uses a tool that a central authority strongly recommends to you.
I wonder how they generate the key, for example, it may be using secp256r1: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/blob/5c111d0bd1206d864d7c...

Subdomain.center – discover all subdomains for a domain
Getting a wildcard certificate from LE might be a better option, depending on how easy the extra bit of if plumbing is with your lab setup.
You need to use DNS based domain identification, and once you have a cert distribute it to all your services. The former can be automated using various common tools (look at https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns, self-hosted unless you are only securing toys you don't really care about, if you self host DNS or your registrar doesn't have useful API access) or you can leave that as an every ~ten weeks manual job, the latter involves scripts to update you various services when a new certificate is available (either pushing from where you receive the certificate or picking up from elsewhere). I have a little VM that holds the couple of wildcard certificates (renewing them via DNS01 and acmedns on a separate machine so this one is impossible to see from the outside world), it pushes the new key and certificate out to other hosts (simple SSH to copy over then restart nginx/Apache/other).
Of course you may decide that the shin if your own CA is easier than setting all this up, as you can sign long lived certificates for yourself. I prefer this because I don't need to switch to something else if I decide to give friends/others access to something.

I've created a solution for managing internal domains, how do I selfhost this more?
As someone else said, it’s a huge pain to run your own dns services. However, if you want some separation, I recently saw https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns

What is a good alternative if port 80 is blocked?
The DNS challenge can be easily automated using https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns - you do need an IP you can run a DNS server on though.

Setting up ssl on AGH
If your server is not accessible over the internet, you can still use Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL to get a certificate. You'll just need to set up a DNS Challenge for things to work. This is a little more complicated, but can work even if your DNS provider doesn't have an API. For example, I use Google Domains and Google DNS (not cloud DNS) for my DNS server, but I've got an instance of acme-dns running on VPS box that handles the DNS auth for me. It's how every machine on my local network has valid certificates - but I annoyingly need to renew them every 90 days.
-
Did Manjaro just forget to renew the SSL certificate?
It's a bit more involved, but you can set up wildcard certificates to update automatically. Certbot has some pre-made plugins for this for several DNS providers. If yours is not on that list, there's a tool called acme-dns which is a minimal DNS server you can run on your server and delegate _acme-challenge.yourdomain.com to. If you don't want to run that on your own, you can also use the publicly hosted server/API for it.

Reverse proxy for internally hosted services
In case you're not already familiar with it: one thing I'd recommend is using https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns to obtain the certificates. You basically just point the subdomain you need wildcard certs for at that DNS server (a one time thing, ie you don't have to do this every three months), and the related tool https://github.com/acme-dns/acme-dns-client can get the certificates in a nice, automated, way without you ever having to expose the private reverse proxy to the Internet.
