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).

AMA/Brown Bag: OpenVPN / EasyRSA
1 project | /r/sysadmin | 10 Jun 2023

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.
