Can’t it automatically be renewed?
Comment on Let’s Encrypt Begins Supporting IP Address Certificates
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 5 days agoMaybe I’m not understanding it but I can’t see what I would use this for due to the 6 day issue period. Bringing a NAS up to copy data for a couple days is the only real use case I see for home users.
Because even if you pay for a static external IP from your ISP, this doesn’t support using such for longer than that period right?

Not sure, I just saw the 6 day thing in the article, that would be nice though

Let’s Encrypt is meant yo be used with automated certificate renewal using the ACME protocol. There are many clients for this. Both standalone and built into e.g. Caddy, Traefik and other software that does SSL termination.
So this specific concern doesn’t really make sense. But that doesn’t mean I really see a use case for it either, since it usually makes more sense to access resources via a host name.

Thanks! I’ll look into that, this could be useful for me then after all. This is why it’s always good to ask questions
