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.

    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.
