Certbot vs Dehydrated?

Maxoq · Aug 4, 2017

I switched my site to run with Let's Encrypt but I don't like Certbot because it needs root to run, especially if it's technically not needed. I research around and I am looking for alternatives to Certbot. I want to have one run as an unprivileged user. I heard about Dehydrated but I don't have any experience with it. Anyone else used Dehydrated or anything else? How was your experience?

Never tried Dehydrated but I used Certbot and it works pretty good with Let's Encrypt.
I used Let's Encrypt for my sites but now I am moving to free Cloudflare SSL because it is easy to install and I don't worry about renewing SSL certs for my sites like using Let's Encrypt.

Why is it a problem to use root access ? And You can use certbot with sudo.

I think you don't need to use Certbot at this time because many hosting control panels (cpanel, plesk..) have already got free SSL feature with automatically renew SSL.

Check out acme.sh it's what i use for integration into my Centmin Mod LEMP stack's nginx vhost generation routines https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh

Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 installs acme.sh optionally when enabled via instructions for setting up persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc variable LETSENCRYPT_DETECT='y' at https://centminmod.com/acmetool/
