Great news if you are using Apache on Ubuntu 12.04+ or Debian 7+. Everything 
else will wait for someone to step up and build it.

Thanks,

Cary

Like Cary said, it'll take some dedication to expand this to other open web
technologies. I'd love to see nginx support.

Nginx support is in progress and there is an “experimental” nginx tool 
available for Ubuntu 12.04+/ Debian 7+. Presumably, this is not ready for 
production.

I was hoping that this would be further along by now, and we recently bought a 
three year wildcard cert subscription ($120), which is what we are recommending 
to out library clients at this time. Of course the cost of the cert is not 
really the issue. The problem that Let’s Encrypt will solve is the maintenance 
of the certs.

Thanks,

Cary
