Let's Encrypt
A non-profit certificate authority that has provided fully free SSL/TLS certificates since 2015. It supports automated certificate renewal and is the largest SSL certificate authority by issuance volume worldwide. Numerous hosting platforms use Let's Encrypt to automatically issue HTTPS certificates on behalf of their users.
Core Facts
Let's Encrypt provides free SSL certificates.
Let's Encrypt provides free TLS certificates and automates certificate application and renewal through the Certbot tool.
Let's Encrypt set the validity period of free SSL certificates at 90 days in order to shorten the risk exposure window after private key compromise and to compel the adoption of automated renewal practices.
Timeline (last 90 days)
To access n8n via a domain name, it is typically necessary to configure a reverse proxy (such as Nginx or Caddy) and obtain a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt.
Let's Encrypt is currently the largest free CA and has issued billions of certificates since officially launching in 2016.
Caddy has a built-in ACME protocol client that can directly interface with free certificate authorities such as Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL to automatically handle certificate issuance, installation, and renewal.
ECDSA is currently the most common ECC signature scheme and is widely supported by mainstream CAs and CDNs such as Let's Encrypt and Cloudflare.
The author was unable to find a European certificate authority that could serve as a plug-and-play replacement for Let's Encrypt.
GameAP comes with a command-line tool called gameapctl that can handle tasks such as system updates and automatic HTTPS configuration via Let's Encrypt.
Caddy has built-in capability to automatically apply for and renew Let's Encrypt certificates, requiring only a domain name declaration in the configuration file to complete full certificate lifecycle management.
Let's Encrypt's ACME protocol has fully automated certificate application, validation, and renewal, and has so far issued more than 3 billion certificates.
Caddy was released in 2015, written in Go, and markets itself on automatic HTTPS, being able to automatically obtain and renew certificates from Let's Encrypt.
Using free dynamic domain names from DuckDNS or No-IP combined with free Let's Encrypt certificates can solve domain and encryption issues at zero cost.
