Hey everyone,

Just a quick question, let's encrypt, what is it and how can I take advantage of its services?

For a bit of background I'm trying to setup KanIDM and the need for a ca certificate is needed, I was told to use let's encrypt to create it.

Just looking for knowledge.

Thanks!

Use Caddy as a web server and forget about setting up certificates forever. This masterpiece will take care of it.

Love caddy. Took a little bit for me to understand but it’s an amazing tool. I barely use a fraction of its capabilities.

I had been using Nginx for years until I finally switched to Caddy a few months ago, I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't check it out sooner lol. Caddy is to Nginx like what Nginx is to Apache.

I have like 15 reverse proxies setup and it takes the same amount of code that about 4 or 5 would take in Nginx.
