In my View, these could provide fantastic automation for NS8 with regard to NS being the defactor mother of managing ssl and keys for other servers. i have been doing alot of reading on keys and the likes, ill add more details here as time goes.
What problem(s) are you seeing any of these solving? In what way do you see “NS being the defacto[] mother of managing ssl and keys for other servers”? Because it seems to me that the situation where you’d obtain a cert on any machine other than the one that’s going to be using it, is (and should be) quite rare–and it’d also be quite unique, in that I’d expect any such solution to need to be custom-built to specific requirements.
But if that’s what you want to do, yeah, you’re going to need a client, and these are some of the hundreds that are out there. I’m no fan of certbot, but it seems like it should make the list too. But I wouldn’t trust Jim Dunphy’s four-year-old fork of acme.sh without a lot more clarity on his purpose for his fork and what makes it different than the original.
