Hello, I wan't to ask if anyone knows of a good alternative for certbot for acquiring ssl certificates for nginx.

Certbot isn't good anymore for me since I started using crowdsec with nginx bouncer that uses lua block's inside nginx config that cerbot can't parse, making it not work anymore.

I use nginx because it's the one I know the best and for my use case work's the best. ( Hosting both program's directly on metal and docker container's )

What CA are you getting your certificates from?

If Let's Encrypt, have you checked their alternative methods to certbot?

Yea I'm using let's encrypt. Juet wanted to hear opinions from people who are probably more experienced than me.

I'd say any project that's decently maintained and satisfies your use case is probably good enough. I found this that from the sound of it fits your use case: https://github.com/fffonion/lua-resty-acme
