Running one’s own root Certificate Authority in 2023
Easy-rsa to the rescue. Been using it for a while, works great and makes life easier :)
Link: https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa
Summary from that page:
easy-rsa is a CLI utility to build and manage a PKI CA. In laymen's terms, this means to create a root certificate authority, and request and sign certificates, including intermediate CAs and certificate revocation lists (CRL).

How to invalidate the usage of a OpenVpn client without revoke it in the CA Server?
No, OpenVPN relies on the CA trust model. Anyone signed by the CA has access, unless they have been revoked (CRL): https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa/blob/master/doc/EasyRSA-Renew-and-Revoke.md

AMA/Brown Bag: OpenVPN / EasyRSA
Hey folks. I'm one of the authors for Mastering OpenVPN, the author of Troubleshooting OpenVPN, and the maintainer of EasyRSA. In light of Apollo and other 3rd party apps going dark on the 30th, I figured I'd "turn in my notice" on Reddit and do the normal sysadmin data dump/brown bag before I'm gone. I've really enjoyed this group and hope things get sorted in the long run.

PFSense Tutorial - Self signing of SSL/TLS Certificate (cause not all have the money to buy one) - https://youtu.be/aj5FUFMn9f0
Correct. That applies to OpenVPN. There's a tool that OpenRSA maintains that help with creating those certificates, EasyRSA: https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa

Invalid Security Certificate Warnings are ANNOYING
Regarding the keys, csr and certificates it's pretty easy to manage them with easy-rsa (https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa)

How to manage lots of self-signed certificates
Depending on your use case, either https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert or https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa
-
Totally local web server on HTTPS.
If you can add CAs to the hosts that will access this server, you can be your own certificate authority. mkcert is good, as mentioned elsewhere, or you can go all out: https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa

i must be the only guy that understands certificates
cfssl is kinda outright better version of that.

SSL certificate problem: unhandled critical extension
The Cloudflare SSL tools at https://github.com/cloudflare/cfssl might help. Here's what it shows for one of the example Snake Oil certs:
-
Private CA management
I've used this in the past and it worked great. https://github.com/cloudflare/cfssl
- Linux Certificate Authority root stores have a too simple view of 'trust'
- Creating an internal Certificate Authority in 2022 that is accepted by modern web browsers.

How to create users in Kubernetes
The first step is to create the source key that represents our user. This key is created using a tool like openssl but another popular tool to use is cfssl, created by Cloudflare. Some folks think cfssl is easier to use, and it definitely looks easier to script. But for this example we will use openssl. You can also choose to create the key using a number of different algorithms. For this example we will use ED25519.
