It's quite common for someone to write to a mailing list without being
subscribed to it. Please use reply-all if you have more to add.

Suit yourself, but this is NOT easy!

Installing extra software, running an HTTP server (or TLS-ALPN) for LE
to query, running a cronjob (and keeping it running!)... there are a
dozen places for error here and it requires a lot of manual setup. Just
because you already did the work doesn't mean that it's easier!

In Gemini, we have the privilege of skipping all of this entirely and
having zero-configuration TLS. The server generates a certificate and it
just works. This is much easier.
