Seeking Guidance: SSL Certification for a Local Server in Windows 2019 Data Center Environment
Option 2+: If your public DNS is hosted by a provider that has Win-ACME or Certify the Web support, use Let's Encrypt and automate the whole thing.

Google Pushing For 90 Day SSL/TLS Certificates - Time For Automation
I use certify the web for the rd gateway
-
How will you handle 90 day SSL expiration?
For Exchange and Remote Desktop Service we are using Certify The Web with Lets Encrypt. Works really well.
-
SSL Certificates, who's responsibility to maintain on server?
Certify the Web: https://certifytheweb.com/
- LDAPS Certificate auto-renews but not to NTDS Personal Store
-
Is open source really a gimmick these days for getting initial traction?
https://certifytheweb.com Felt like a complete bait-and-switch to me.

Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?
It's worth doing! A few projects I've done:
I once needed a database of EV charging locations, but at the time(2011) there were no open databases, so I built https://openchargemap.org, that now serves millions of API queries per month for other apps and services
For another project, I recently wanted to control my guitar amp (a Positive Grid Spark) from my computer instead of using a mobile app, so I built https://soundshed.com which is both a bluetooth web app and an electron app you can install. It now has a few thousand users :)
And finally, another time I had some SSL certificates I needed to manage for another project (for the above mentioned https://openchargemap.org), so I built a GUI to manage and renew certificates on Windows. It's now a commercial app with hundreds of thousands of users and it's my full time job: https://certifytheweb.com
So yeah, worth doing!

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

LeGo CertHub v0.9.0 with Docker Support
v0.9.1 is out and natively supports both https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns and any dns provider available in https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh

How do you deal with SSL certs management?
I have set up an acme-dns server to answer ACME DNS Challenges: https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns
- How to configure and use 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.
