Let's encrypt? (lemmy.world)

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!

Yeah. There's reasoning for why they do it on their docs, but the reasoning iirc is kanidm is a security critical resource, and it aims to not even allow any kind of insecure configuration. Even on the local network. All traffic to and from kanidm should be encrypted with TLS. I think they let you use self signed certs though?
