Roadmap

For the time being, I'm hoping that WebFaction will release their first-party support of Let's Encrypt and this utility will be deprecated. Until that happens, I will continue to keep this working, and make minor improvements to handle edge cases.

In the case that WebFaction publicly announces that they are not going to ever (or within a year) release first-party support, the following are my thoughts on a dev plan.

Overall, this needs to become simpler. Ideally, we have a configuration file in a single location which lists all of the certs to be generated. One command would be added to the crontab to run twice daily, which would check for certs nearing expiration and renew them, al la Certbot.

Also, I'd want to write some better error handling around common use cases. For example, it would be neat to be able to check for common issues with htaccess files blocking .well-known, or http not redirecting to https.

Short term features

• Clean up .well-known files after successful validation.
