Browsers barf at non https now. What are we supposed to do about certificates?
@solrize @thehatfox get a free wildcard cert for your domain and use it just like any other. nothing new, nothing different. I have those running on LAN-only hosts behind a firewall and NAT with no port punching or UpNP or any ingress possible.
if you don't want to run a private CA with automated cert distribution (also simple with ansible or a few tens of LOC in shell or python), the LetsEncrypt is trivial and costs nothing -- still requires one to load the cert and key onto a server though, which is 2/3 of the work vs private CA cert management.
How do you propose to get LetsEncrypt to offer you a certificate for a domain name you do not and cannot control?
@JackbyDev Why would that be a question at all? Buy a domain name and take care of your dns records.
that's an odd way to say that you don't own any domains. that's step one, but does it even need to be said?
You cannot buy .internal domains. That's my point.
Private CA is the only way for domains which cannot be resolved on the Internet
