Traefik : A modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer that makes deploying microservices easy. Traefik integrates with your existing infrastructure components and configures itself automatically and dynamically. it's also well integrated with Let's Encrypt (Alternatives : HAProxy, Kong, NGINX)

Let's Encrypt

cert-manager is a CRD (Custom Resource Definition) that dynamically generates TLS/SSL certificates for our applications using Let's Encrypt (although it also supports other issuers).

Install Certbot Certbot is a CLI that helps to obtain and maintain Let's Encrypt cert.

Let's Encrypt. CapRover automatically configures each service with nginx. SSL certificates (on multiple domains too) are just the click of a button.

you should look at free services like https://letsencrypt.org/

Let's Encrypt Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority brought to you by the nonprofit Internet Security…letsencrypt.org

Today, you will learn how to deploy your node.js project to the internet via an Amazon Web Services EC2 Instance at little or no cost. You will learn how to create an AWS EC2 Instance and work in Amazon Linux 2, create and manage services with SYSTEMD, use NGINX as a reverse proxy and obtain an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt to ensure your website is secure via HTTPS protocol. So let’s get to it and deploy your project to your EC2 Instance.

Luckily you can get the https easily. I’ve been using https://letsencrypt.org/ to get it encrypted. Was fast and free. No real barrier just a bunch of setup.

Self contained but hardly a tiny supply chain attack surface: https://github.com/go-acme/lego/blob/master/go.sum

This ACME client looks promising, but I haven’t tried it yet: https://github.com/go-acme/lego

My favorite method of obtaining certificates is with lets encrypt and LEGO

Caddy where possible, and acme.sh or lego where not.

Depend on host's capability... - lego - dehydrated - caddy - in case it already works as a web server, it will automatically issue and renew certs

u/gregtwallace maybe in the short term until you write your own, you could provide a hook into one of the many ACME client implementations which do DNS-01 and support the majority of major DNS provider APIs out of the box? That would make your (really great!) project much more widely usable.
