> mod_md
That actually does look like it'll be reasonable, but 1. it still requires that the user figure out how to enable mod_md and add the config to enable it, and 2. it's currently labeled "Status: Experimental", which https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/module-dict.html#Statu... describes as
> "Experimental" status indicates that the module is available as part of the Apache kit, but you are on your own if you try to use it. The module is being documented for completeness, and is not necessarily supported.
so it seems more like something that will eventually become a good alternative.
> Nginx with certbot
I'm fine with certbot, but there's a world of difference between "install this web server and tell it your URL starts with https://" vs "install the web server, install this other package, read the docs to configure the other package or run the setup script and follow the prompts".
