pyinfra VS letsencrypt

I like https://github.com/pyinfra-dev/pyinfra. "pyinfra automates infrastructure using Python"

Only played with it for a little but it seems well designed an simpler alternative to ansible, chef and other such things.

Haven't used it in anger yet, but I have high hopes for PyInfra: https://github.com/pyinfra-dev/pyinfra

pyinfra - https://pyinfra.com/ - Pyinfra is simpler for me than Ansible. I completed the entire deployment in one afternoon, from installing and configuring the VPS server from scratch to deploying the application and automatically restoring the database from a backup.

I’ve replaced Ansible with PyInfra where ever possible. https://pyinfra.com/ is very clean, and fast but lacks the shear amount of automation that can be found with Ansible.

Some folks don't like YAML all that well, and I can understand where they are coming from. I wish Ansible provided a good Python API so that playbooks could be written in Python easier. But there is a project called PyInfra that is trying to do something similiar to Ansible, using Python as the configuration language. https://pyinfra.com/ It is still pretty new so not got nearly as many modules written for it yet.

This seems to be not implemented in certbot, yet: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/6566

If you do go with NPM or Traefik, under the covers it's using certbot to request/renew your certificates through Let's Encrypt using the DNS-01 challenge, meaning you can get wildcard certs and don't have to futz around with port forwards. Again I'd think Caddy has similar functionality, I just have not used it personally. Raw NGINX you probably don't want to try out yet considering it requires manually doing the configs

certbot won't be missed. The code quality is pretty poor.

https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues 5000 bugs and it most of it can be replaced by much smaller tools

Here’s a good code reference (Python and rust): https://github.com/certbot/certbot

I am trying to migrate off of Linux and back to FreeBSD, but I hit a problem today. The Let's Encrypt Certbot is not installing. A bit surprising, given how important it is. So I thought I would notify the community Here is my bug report. https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/9394

Last release: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/releases (on 28th August 2022 = 1.29.0)

Right? It’s so ridiculous how you’re supposed to use Snap to install certbot. The (well, one of..) GitHub discussion is just beyond the pale:

https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/8345#issuecomment-...

It goes way beyond, since Let's Encrypt influence the ecosystem a lot and the standards that are used.

If you use Let's Encrypt, you are likely using Certbot, which means that everybody uses a tool that a central authority strongly recommends to you.

I wonder how they generate the key, for example, it may be using secp256r1: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/blob/5c111d0bd1206d864d7c...
