> I'd gladly pay 10% more for my cert if it meant my server could renew automatically without me touching it at all.

I wrote a server that does this. Would be happy to have your feedback sometime: https://caddyserver.com - here's how it works with regards to Let's Encrypt certs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE5UhQGg_Fo&t=32m



Oh, I've downloaded Caddy and used it a few times, I love it but haven't switched anything to it yet.

To me, the killer feature right now is that I can just drop it in my /usr/bin directory and have a performant HTTP server in the current dir with just one command. I don't use the LE integration (even though I love the feature) because I haven't deployed it in anything outward-facing.

One small nit would be that I'm not very clear on how the LE fetching is done (where all the files are placed). The docs do mention this, but I left with a feeling that I was still not very clear on where the files go after reading it. Other than that, great job on Caddy!


Found this tutorial yesterday about how to do it with letsencrypt https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secu...


I use simp_le for that. I more meant "I'd have paid a CA 10% more for automation", but that ship has sailed now that LE has launched. I'm probably not going to be using anything else any time soon.
