We'd need a server and client side, perhaps you two can figure out something together here? > This webconfig tool can configure for example (not limited to): > - Apache > - SSL (let's encrypt etc) > - SSL renew cert Yeah, I think let's encrypt timing has been perfect for us ;-) > - mySQL > - my.cnf > - Backup Some backup solution we'll need, somehow. I was hoping to see a proposal for developing that.
