BTW: The easiest way to run certbot in a container is to mount a renew script (some shell script as simple as `certbot renew`) to /etc/periodic/daily/renew, then change the container's entrypoint to `crond -d6 -f`.

Try entering a long wifi-password via the 1-line lcd and 2 buttons on the printer, what a nightmare. (No way to configure via usb). Oh well, I still have a couple of days before I need to print a bunch of documents, so there goes the weekend ;)

For internal-use certificates, you'll have to make use of a DNS challenge with Let's Encrypt. I've been hesitant to set that up because I'm concerned about the potential compromise of a token that has permissions to edit my DNS zone. I see that the author creates exactly that kind of token and has permanently accessible to his script. For a home lab where he's the only person accessing his hardware, that's less of a concern. But what about at a company where multiple people may have access to a system?

Am I being too paranoid here? Or is there a better way to allow DNS challenges without a token that allows too much power in editing a DNS zone?

Given the immense popularity of Cloudflare DNS + API + ACME DNS-01 challenge, why are not other DNS providers stepping into this foray?

I've built some custom AspNetCore middleware that completely owns the entire thing. I tried win-acme and other clients but they aren't in the same room of convenience. All I need to provide is the desired hostname to the middleware and ensure traffic destined for that FQDN winds up at the server. HTTP-01 is used to verify, so I don't have to screw with anything other than an A record. If the hostname is null, it issues an IP address certificate instead using Amazon's public IP lookup service to derive the appropriate SAN. Certs are automatically refreshed when they are within 48 hours of expiration, and the actual swap is a X509Certificate2 reference being updated. It's about as trivial as it gets.

None of the libraries/CLI tools I attempted support anything like this experience. This is what originally put me off to the ecosystem and the idea of short lived certificates. The automation can't just be "sufficient". It needs to be "fucking incredible". $12.95/yr is not that expensive to me if the alternative is getting sucked into hours and hours of someone else's idea of a good time.
