Given that the first login via LuCI, on a fresh install, is not with a password anyway.  What if setting the initial password sets up letsencrypt also. Then when letsencrypt's first successful cert install, https gets enabled as the default and then requests the user reboot to complete the setup and will force their next session to https.

I agree that https with self-signed certs are not good, especially on a first boot/install device.

Hi,

The current list of release goals for 20.xx states[0] that LuCI should
use HTTPS per default. This works by creating on-device a self-signed
certificate. Self-signed certificates result in warnings and may cause
more harm than good, multiple discussion are found in the mail archive.

As no clean solution seems in reach while 20.xx seems close, I'd like to
suggest to postponse HTTPS LuCI (`luci-ssl` vs `luci`) per default.

This isn't a vote but a request for developer/user opinions.

Sunshine,
Paul
