I'm the nth author of an ACME (Let's Encrypt) client. It's a single-binary Go client which you can build and upload to your server. It's designed to work like "make"; you tell it what hostnames you want certificates for, and it tries to satisfy those requirements. It can install a cronjob automatically for autorenewal, and the authorization process doesn't require downtime.

Out of all the clients I tried yesterday, this one seemed the most thought out in terms of usability and operations with automation.


This was super simple and worked like a charm!
