Apache (is anyone else still using that?) now ships with an official ACME module, which is nice.

Professionally it's been cert-manager.

I haven't paid for a TLS certificate in almost a decade I guess.



The Caddy[1] webserver also has built-in ACME. It has all the problems Rachel mentioned, of course, because now it's an ACME client embedded in an even bigger piece of software, but it's handy for sure!

I don't know much about Caddy scalability but it's worked great for my personal sites.

It scales to hundreds of thousands of sites.
