I have a single Nginx setup which is the frontend for all my web services. So I only need to deploy it there (and to its HA partner). My renewal script just scp’s it to the secondary and does an nginx -s reload on both.

I do generate separate certs/keys for my non-web servers, but there’s only two of those.

You could also, if you wanted, just generate one cert and distribute it and its key to everything with a script or other automation tool (Ansible is what I used to use).

Is there a way I can get Let’s Encrypt to dole out a wildcard certificate

Yep. Just specify the domains yourdomain.com and *.yourdomain.com in the certbot request. Wildcard domains require the DNS-based challenge, but you’ve said you’re already good there. You don’t technically need the apex domain (yourdomain.com) but I always add it since I do have services running there.

Any subdomains under the wildcard can use internal DNS or internal IPs on the public DNS (I do the former, but the latter works too).

I used to run an internal CA, and it wasn’t too hard to setup a CA and distribute my root cert. Except on mobile devices. On Android it was easy, but there was a persistent warning that my network traffic could be intercepted (which is true when there’s a custom root cert installed), but it since it was my cert, it got annoying seeing that all the time. Not sure if Apple devices can even do that, but regardless, it wasn’t practical for friends who wanted to use my self-hosted services to install a custom cert when they were over.

Is there EV support?

Looks like it, yeah:

The UI still shows Fuel, but it seems like you can enter the kWh and it should calculate. Maybe plug some values into the demo to be sure. If you do, let us know!

I use Fireflyiii for my money and budgeting.

I don’t see why not. I haven’t stood it up yet, but I’ve played with the demo. It does have a section for parts/repairs/upgrades.

Give the demo a try, and let us know.

Yeah, building a simpler version of something like that was on my ever-growing “to do” list but came across this today. Probably going to deploy it this evening or maybe this weekend (whichever day it’s supposed to rain lol).

After some time, the domain fully expired and GoDaddy decided to buy it as soon as it did, and charged me £2,225 to renew the domain. I don’t understand how a price that large is justified, considering that my website gets barely any visitors and I basically only use the domain for hosting stuff. No idea how hiking prices this much is legal

GoDaddy is known to do that.

Technically, they’re not hiking the price. GoDaddy bought scalped it after it expired and then is re-selling it at an astronomically higher price. It’s one of the many, many reasons people hate them.

I’m ashamed to say I still have a couple of domains with GD that I haven’t migrated yet. This post might just light a fire under me to get that done.
