Re: [gopher] Should we be mirroring Gopher sites via FTP?



I have looked at Let's Encrypt in the past. There is quite a bit of smack talk floating around vis-a-vis this service particularly because it is free. Every single free cert I have seen in the last 20 years eventually shut down due to misuse by idiots. I guess I'll grab one while it is still around...

Is renewing the LE cert scriptable or is this just something that will need a calendar entry and a reminder?

RFC 4217 comes to mind at this point & I wonder if letsencrypt.org supports that perchance.

By putting some records into the DNS, yes it is possible to have a cert
issued for a domain name that will then work for any service, including
FTPS or even some form of Gopher/TLS if such a thing exists.

Personally I've used the certs for mail servers, FTP servers, XMPP
servers as well as many many web servers.

Thanks,
Iain.
