Feature Request - Autorenew SSL certs for Technitium Web Service via a configured ACME details directly in web portal

[Anutrix]

I know that we can use nsupdate(RFC 2136) on any server to get certificate issued by a certificate authority and use Technitium DNS in the process. I currently do this Proxmox. That's not exactly what this feature request is about.

The Technitium 'Settings' -> 'Web Service' doesn't have option to specify an ACME server it can ask SSL certificates for.

Instead, current options are:

1. Manually generating cert and putting it in a file path on the Technitium server and then entering the path in 'TLS Certificate File Path'.
2. A certbot inside the Technitium server as advised in https://blog.technitium.com/2023/03/how-to-auto-renew-ssl-certificates-with.html .

My feature request is to add support for auto-renewing SSL certs in Technitium web service via an ACME CA itself.
An email and a directory endpoint URL of the CA would be needed to be added to Technitium settings in Web Service section and backend logic could be via certbot or https://github.com/simple-acme/simple-acme or an internal implementation.

Would this be possible?

Thanks for the request. This had been asked a few times in the past and is not really planned to be implemented. The reason is that there are several DNS and DHCP related features which are still pending and are being prioritized. The list is really huge and will take a lot of time to implement. So, ya, lots of good features will be coming up with each new release.

Whereas, the SSL renewal is a solved problem with certbot and other tools. Thus implementing support for it is not really a priority. This may be taken up after the number of features that are already planned are implemented. It would take a long time though to reach that point.
