Why would anyone ever use self signed certs? Buy a cheap ass domain, and use LetsEncrypt to get a free cert.

If it is for internal only, self signed is a lot easier.

Hard disagree. As long as you have any machine with internet access it’s trivial, even more so if you can use DNS challenge.

You're absolutely correct. For self hosting at home I use cloudflare for DNS challenges.

Caddy is also amazing at making things even simpler.
