Sounds neat but I couldn't follow what problem this was solving. Having an internal network that uses Lets Encrypt certs and updates automatically?

I solve that with Traefik in a docker container. It's setup with Cloudflare as my DNS provider using the DNS challenge and Lets Encrypt to issue certs. By slapping a few labels on any Docker container I get to use https and a subdomain on my real domain name. Everything is automatic and, while configuration was hard, I didn't have to custom roll anything special. I don't need an external VPS (but I do need Cloudflare to act as my domain provider, for free). Seems like that might be way easier for most people?

Damn you can do this whole thing with Cloudflare for free? That's why that's a failure blog :'D

I'll give it a try at some point...

I actually set it up and it's much better than my previous setup. Thank you! Editing the post that it's totally useless (but leaving it on the net anyway, just with a note on top).

I'm kinda disappointed as I was very proud for the setup but hey, let's not get emotional over bits n bytes :)
