Disclaimer: Steffen and me got into each others hairs during the development and testing of mod_md. I often have difficulties understanding what he means. That led to frustrations on both sides, I suppose.
In the comment below, I find several things factually wrong, so I need to answer. > Am 19.11.2017 um 16:21 schrieb Steffen <[email protected]>: > > Notes: > > It is not really a module, more a configuration/install utility.

But if you never use these additional features, other tools might work as well, sure. > Running mod_md from the beginning and made available at ApacheLounge.

You should use the utility that serves you best. If you expect any less than struggle when using pre-alpha versions in development, you should adjust your expectations. > In January LetsEncrypt is starting with wildcard certs.

The protocol that mod_md talks with LE will not change by the wildcard introduction. LE is prepared to maintain the current v1 API point indefinitely, because there are many sites and tools out there that use it. The bug you probably refer to was the change of the License agreement last week, mod_md stalled on certificate renewal and gave a proper NOTICE message in the logs about what went wrong. The bug was fixed by me the next day. A workaround without the fix is possible by moving aside the existing account data. So, had this been released already, we could have provided a workaround at once (after analysing the problem) and a fix right after. The marking of it as "experimental" is always a warning that some bumps in the road are to be expected. Cheers, Stefan
