Alternative to certbot for acquiring ssl certificates to use with nginx. (lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz)

Hello, I wan't to ask if anyone knows of a good alternative for certbot for acquiring ssl certificates for nginx.

Certbot isn't good anymore for me since I started using crowdsec with nginx bouncer that uses lua block's inside nginx config that cerbot can't parse, making it not work anymore.

I use nginx because it's the one I know the best and for my use case work's the best. ( Hosting both program's directly on metal and docker container's )

if you are open to learn something new: Caddy webserver has a dead simple config, fetches tls certs by default for you and works with crowdsec too

Caddy is fantastic, incredibly easy to configure and just works out of the box beautifully.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters	More Letters
CA	(SSL) Certificate Authority
DNS	Domain Name Service/System
HTTP	Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the Web
SSL	Secure Sockets Layer, for transparent encryption
nginx	Popular HTTP server

3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 14 acronyms.

@crony AFAIK https://github.com/go-acme/lego is quite good.

NixOS uses this, works well for me.
