Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Unfortunately some apps require the certificate be bound to the internal application, and need to be done so through cli or other methods not easily automated. We could front load over reverse proxy but we would still need to take the proxy cert and bind to the internal service for communication to work properly. Thankfully that's for my other team to figure out as I already have a migration plan for systems I manage.
Why can't you just have a long lived internally signed cert on your archaic apps and LE at the edge on a modern proxy? It's easy enough to have the proxy trust the internal cert and connect to your backend service that shouldn't know the difference if there's a proxy or not.
Or is your problem client side?
One such app I can think of would be a client side issue. If the public cert doesnt match the back end private cert it will sever the connection and mark it as insecure. Hopefully I won't need to deal with it much longer though.
I just heard back from my other team that "this project sounds great for your team" even though they manage many of their own apps and certificates. Perhaps I should just let them burn then!
That’s actually a really good idea. I’m not the person you replied to, but I’m taking notes.
