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.

How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps
However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

Deploying Web Apps with Caddy: A Beginner's Guide Caddy
Not as good though. Case in point: https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/5472#issuecomment-... (that's just from this morning)
I'm speak objectively here. Of course, any built-in auto HTTPS that works (more or less) is better than none. Traefik uses an ACME library that was originally written for Caddy. After the original author left that project, Traefik team started maintaining it. Caddy's users' requirements exceeded what the library was capable of, but unfortunately there was friction in getting it to achieve our requirements. So I ended up writing a new ACME client library in Go and, together with upgrades in CertMagic (Caddy's auto-TLS lib), Caddy has the more flexible, robust, and capable auto-HTTPS functionality.
That is to say, not all auto-HTTPS functionalities are the same.

Security Workshop Part 1 - Put up a gate
We'll use Traefik, an open source cloud native gateway that can plug into a Kubernetes cluster. It has the concept of "middleware" that can process API requests before passing them through to a backend. We can configuring a rate limit for all of our API endpoints by matching on the request path:
-
Install plugin in k8s cluster running in Kind
I did the same question here and here
- The Tailscale Universal Docker Mod
-
Set Default Config in traefik.toml and overwrite with specific container config
Sadly there is currently no way of doing so. https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/6999
- Istio moved to CNCF Graduation stage
-
Docker Services question
Traefik is another widely used system that has automatic configuration and offers support for more things like swarm/kubernetes/etc.

nginx alternatives
I have a webapp which I currently have deployed by running nginx in a container. Works as it should, however I am intersted in adding more observability to the webapp and found this reverse-proxy https://github.com/traefik/traefik which seems to expose some nice metrics which can be useful for observability.

Setting up a Homelab: Part 1 Proxmox and LetsEncrypt
A self-signed certificate was generated and used by Proxmox which will always generate a warning on the browser. I did not like seeing this when trying to work on my home lab. So, I started looking for ways to put a valid SSL certificate in Proxmox. During my research, I found that Proxmox could be made to integrate with acme.sh; a free SSL certificate generator powered by ACME(Let's Encrypt).

How to Build Email Server with Exim on Alma Linux 9
Next, we will install acme.sh, a command-line tool for managing SSL/TLS certificates. I prefer acme.sh over certbot, as it does not depend on the OS version. For more details about acme.sh, check its GitHub repo here.

Dehydrated: Letsencrypt/acme client implemented as a shell-script
A very relevant question. Acme.sh, a similar shell script ACME client, had a remote code execution problem last year.

Ask HN: What is your experience with ZeroSSL?
As a result, any certificates issued (or renewed) after Feb 8th will not work on older Android devices (< 7.1.1), unless the ACME client has been configure to request an alternate certificate chain. The "alternate chain" workaround will also stop working on June 6th.
I need to support these older Android devices so I am looking for alternatives. I have seen ZeroSSL mentioned a few times; it is also the default CA for acme.sh (the ACME client I am using nowadays) [2]. They have a number of paid plans but ACME certificates are free [3].
I'll be testing this over the next few days, but I would also like to ask if people here have experience with ZeroSSL (good or bad :-). Any feedback would be helpful.

Why Certificate Lifecycle Automation Matters
Huh, the environment variable thing was specifically aimed at acme.sh which rather arbitrarily changed the config value from ACMEDNS_UPDATE_URL to ACMEDNS_BASE_URL, never acknowledged this in a changelog and then silently failed after an automatic upgrade as recommended by the default install:
https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/commit/2ce145f359...
It's also cleared out my .account.conf files when run on the suggested cron.
I've started using updown which also monitors my TLS certs simply because I no longer trust the process to work as documented.

The Bureau of Meteorology website does not support connections via HTTPS
It depends on your provider though. I can tell from experience that with OVH and their API, it's been easy to set up the automatic renewal via DNS verification. Apparently, the official client has support for the DNS API of 159 providers: https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/dnsapi

I made a tool for automatically updating the current and next (rollover) TLSA DNS records with acme.sh and the Cloudflare API
For the few people here that happen to run a self-hosted email server with acme.sh for TLS key/cert generation and Cloudflare for DNS management, I have made a tool that i personally use to get a perfect 100% score on Internet.nl's email test.

How to get LetsEncrypt certs from PfSense/ACME to other machines? (automated??)
All of this is to say it's a decent amount of work to save the hassle of deploying certbot or acme.sh on the remote machines, pick your poison.

Hosting at home & SSL
Here is a really solid guide for setting up the ACME DNS challenge with pretty much any DNS provider

This is Fine
People wonder why I like using the shell-based ACME client like dehydrated (or acme.sh):
* https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=dehydrated
* https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh
Versus the official client certbot:
* https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python3-certbot
A kludgy as very long shell scripts are (thought to be), I have a better chance of being able to go through all the code and understand it than a dozen(+) Python libraries.
What are some alternatives?
Nginx Proxy Manager - Docker container for managing Nginx proxy hosts with a simple, powerful interface
letsencrypt - Certbot is EFF's tool to obtain certs from Let's Encrypt and (optionally) auto-enable HTTPS on your server. It can also act as a client for any other CA that uses the ACME protocol.
Caddy - Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS
