Have you tried caddy? Each TLS protected site winds up being literally a couple lines in a config file. Renewals are automatic. Unless you have a network / DNS problem, it is set and forget. It is far simpler than dealing with manual cert renewals, downloading the certificates, restarting your web server (or forgetting to...)

Yes, but only for internal stuff. I prefer traefik at the moment. But my point is more about how people use wix over free webspace and so on. While I don't agree with many of Jonathan Blow's arguments, but news like this make me think of his talk "Preventing the
collapse of civilization" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSRHeXYDLko

Traefik without certmanager is just as self inflicted a wound. It’s literally designed to handle this for you.

I have to use an internal cert out of my control anyways. For personal projects I switched to web hosters after some bad experience. But I vividly remember setting up my vps as a teen. while I understand the reasoning it's always sad to see those simpler times go away. and sometimes I don't see the reasoning behind and suspect it's because some c-suites don't see big harm, since it ought to make things safer and those people that are left in the dust don't count anyway...
