Do you run a private CA? Could you tell me about your certificate setup if you do? (lemmy.world)

Hi, I was looking at private CAs since I don't want to pay for a domain to use in my homelab.

What is everyone using for their private CA? I've been looking at plain OpenSSL with some automation scripts but would like more ideas. Also, if you have multiple reverse-proxy instances, how do you distribute domain-specific signed certificates to them? I'm not planning to use a wildcard, and would like to rotate certificates often.

Thanks!

Edit: thank you for everyone who commented! I would like to say that I recognise the technical difficulty in getting such a setup working compared to a simple certbot setup to Let's Encrypt, but it's a personal choice that I have made.

Europe

Samsung devices in the US have their bootloaders locked, regardless of whether you bought it from a carrier or not. I'll be looking at other devices, and even then, custom ROM support has all but stopped for everything but the pixel. Living in Europe is great for this, for you have the FP5 available.

But some apps would still ignore it.

Apps with their own certificate store like Firefox? Yeah, I'm thinking about how I can deal with that. Is there a FOSS Android MDM solution that I can use?
