@JaredBusch No, I get that part. How do you get a cert with sub-domains?
They're called wildcard certs, and the same place you'd buy a normal cert.
Your missing the point. He has a Let's Encrypt Wildcard Cert. - They don't offer wildcard certs....

@aaronstuder
This, maybe?
Can I get a certificate for multiple domain names (SAN certificates)?
Yes, the same certificate can apply to several different names using the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) mechanism. The Let's Encrypt client automatically requests certificates for multiple names when requested to do so. The resulting certificates will be accepted by browsers for any of the domain names listed in them. -

No need for a wildcard when you can
letsencrypt-autoAnd get certs for every valid domain being served on the server?
-
@travisdh1 right. No where did I say it was a wildcard.
-
A SAN cert is not a WildCard cert.

Side note, I need to run the renew script. I never got the warning email

That sucks. The renewal period is so short though, setting up a cron job to do it before expiration seems only sensible.

I have not setup a job yet because things keep changing with the process.
but now that it is out of beta officially, I should probably look at doing that. -

I've seen a lot of discussion here recently about SSL certificates.
I will admit to being a little under educated in this arena.
I currently use GoDaddy to get an SSL certificate for my internal mail server, mainly just so users don't get the warnings.
Are there free certificates available that would accomplish this purpose? Or a better way of doing this?
Then why are you paying so much to Godaddy for basic ssl certificate? Because this type of single domain validation ssl certificate (standard ssl) available at very affordable price. Checkout https://www.cheapsslcouponcode.com/coupons/standard-domain-ssl this coupon code site.

Right, but i have always had CloudFlare running in front of my stuff. I have to turn that off before I can run the scripts.

Does CloudFlare run like other system services? If you can run a command and have it turned on/off, then you can just add it to the script.... yeah, I actually created a script to put in a cron job rather than try to have it all on a one-liner in cron.

It is an external service, so you would need access to an API to do that.

Just a bit. You CAN turn it off easily by hand, run the script and turn it back on again.

I take it API access isn't something that's easy to do then?

Oh it might be. Might be trivial. I've never looked into it.
