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.

Why Certificate Lifecycle Automation Matters
A 'competitor' to this would be GetSSL which is a pure-shell ACME client (plus OpenSSL and cURL) and can be executed on one host, but send verification tokens to remote systems (where you may not have cron access):
> Get certificates for remote servers - The tokens used to provide validation of domain ownership, and the certificates themselves can be automatically copied to remote servers (via ssh, sftp or ftp for tokens). The script doesn't need to run on the server itself. This can be useful if you don't have access to run such scripts on the server itself, as it's a shared server for example.

why should we use ssl certificates for our self-hosted services in our internal network?
I first got by with self signed certificates, but with all the major browsers warning they'll stop supporting those eventually I finally bit the bullet last month and installed getssl to automatically update all my certificates once a month.

letsencrypt with noip free domain?
because I didn't want to install another package manager (snapd) on my Ubuntu 18.04 server I checked the ACME Client Implementations page and decided to try getssl, a nice little shell script that does everything I need and then some.
-
Running certbot container on schedule without cron?
I just have a dedicated container that runs getssl everyday. Anything that has a web interface (Or anything that requires TLS) gets it's own conf file that gets added to the daily check. Each conf file tells getssl how to load the certificate for its particular service.

LetsEncrypt / CertBot without snapd?
I have been using https://github.com/srvrco/getssl for years on my raspberry pi. It's a much simpler Bash script that doesn't break after every update.

Old files keep appearing bug
i have a problem where after installing getssl (https://github.com/srvrco/getssl) to /root/.getssl i populated it's contents with bunch of SSL files using Dockerfile's COPY command. And now no matter what i do they keep reappearing.

Should you use Let's Encrypt for internal hostnames?
> acme.sh
Another shell-based ACME client I like is dehyradted. But for sending certs to remote systems from one central area, perhaps the shell-based GetSSL:
> Obtain SSL certificates from the letsencrypt.org ACME server. Suitable for automating the process on remote servers.
* https://github.com/srvrco/getssl
In general, what you may want to do is configure Ansible/Puppet/etc, and have your ACME client drop the new cert in a particular area and have your configuration management system push things out from there.

You shouldn't run NSA-grade Wi-Fi at home
You can roll your own with https://github.com/smallstep/certificates. We maintain major open source projects and contribute a lot to other projects. I don’t think that means everything we do has to be open source. Sorry this one wasn’t. Doing this in pure open source would be a book, not a blog post.
Love Let’s Encrypt — we’re sponsors — but using them for WiFi is a terrible idea. You need internal PKI for WiFi.

Distributing ACME Let'sEncrypt certs for homelab
letsencrypt was always about moving the public internet off of http, it doesn't really make sense to use it throughout your internal network. but if you really want TLS and ACME for auto renewal, other solutions are available: https://github.com/smallstep/certificates

SSH With SSO
You could try step-ca: https://github.com/smallstep/certificates. There’s an OIDC provisioner for SSO and you can sign (short-lived) SSH certificates with it.

Web application to manage self-signed certificate authorities/certificates/keys
You could also check out out Step CA: https://github.com/smallstep/certificates and the accompanying CLI. It has an ACME server and other methods for requesting certificates. It can work/integrate with your existing root(s), too.

ACME setup. Domain required?
This is a lot more complicated setup but it works for me. I run a private CA called step-ca from smallstep and it provides CA and ACME endpoint. I use a .home domain. The trick is the validation for non-http devices which is typically the DNS-01 challenge. For this, I have unbound in pfsense setup to work with acme-dns so I can keep everything internal. Again its complicated but if your learning cyber security it might help get a handle on all things TLS. Btw way behind the scenes I think the ACME plugin is really just running acme.sh bash script which is really good. Final reminder as other have stated. Private CA is great but you need to distro the roots and intermediates out to your clients for trust. If all your trying to do is have an https web gui for pfsense from one device its pretty easy.

Using k8s-apiserver as AAA server for microservices?
I was just looking at https://smallstep.com/certificates a few days ago. It looks like they have an operator that fits your description as well as example docs for setting up inter-microservice mtls.
