Lots of people shitting on stories of people who buy certs.
You do still have to buy a cert if you want one for a .onion. Let's encrypt still doesn't support it :(
But...an onion address doesn't need a cert?
Some apps refuse to work if you dont have TLS, so it depends what you're running
I’m also having to manually cert every 3 months for my emby instance. It’s a minor inconvenience, but I’m definitely tempted to just buy a yearly.
Why not script it so you don't have to do it manually?
Your advice is sound, my ability to focus on such a task however… lol
what about certbot?
Emby?
Same idea as Jellyfin / Plex. Self hosted media server. Plex handles ssl certs for you, Emby doesn’t have an automatic process so I’m having to manually replace it every 90 days
Why not use a reverse proxy with this built in? Caddy, Traeffik...
Might be less effort for you to submit a PR
