There&#x27;s definitely some rough edges on the tooling that will make this less painful. You likely used it with development endpoints, which only give certificates signed by untrusted CA (happy hacker fake CA or something like that). However, the point[1] of short lifetime of the certificates is to incentivize automating it. I&#x27;m highly hopeful that in a short while, having an HTTPS certificate is a matter of apt-get install.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;letsencrypt.org&#x2F;2015&#x2F;11&#x2F;09&#x2F;why-90-days.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;letsencrypt.org&#x2F;2015&#x2F;11&#x2F;09&#x2F;why-90-days.html</a>
