It was easy enough to do it with self hosted mastodon, cant seem to login to any of the Lemmy apps with my selfhosted website? Lemmy.rip

UPDATE: I had to renew through a setting in yunohost, not automatic, porkbun was showing it as valid and I I’m used to them grabbing it automatically or having me paste it in during setup.

    It’s 2025. Not having “real certificates” is something admins intentionally do. Since there is Let’s Encrypt available, all other solutions for non-paid certificates are obsolete.

      With let’s encrypt and DNS APIs, theres no excuse not to have a real certificate!

      More so if you want to have that service interacte with other systems not your own

        Exactly. With directly using certbot handling all and everything fully automatically I ran my old setup with a free dyndns subdomain for quite some time without any issues.

        Since Let’s encrypt nowadays is basically implemented in every reverse proxy: certificates are an absolute no-brainer.

        If someone manages to buy and configure a domain to serve selfhosted content, this person will also be able to either set up certbot or use the built-in functionality of their reverse proxy.
