Hey there, author of this thingy here, nice to see that some people like what i'm wasting my time on ;)
Just wanted to let you know that I just pushed a few updates, the code now no longer requires perl, uses the more generic shasum tool, uses base64 in openssl instead of the systems base64 binary, and some more stuff.
There are a few more dependencies I want to get rid of, like 'sed'.
But 'openssl' and 'curl' will stay as depdencies.
I also want to expand this script with the ability to detect changes in the domain config and with a check if a certificate is about to expire so that it can be renewed in a cron-job or something similar.
Revocation is another thing that I kinda should look at, for now you'll have to do that with one of the other clients that has this option.
And thanks to the author of acme-tiny, which kinda inspired me to write this.

Why do you care about the sed dependency? It's a basic unix command that everyone has. Unless there's some strong time penalty, it'd be better to use sed over some weirdass bash syntax.
