MapacheSSL

Web wizard for issuing Let's Encrypt SSL certificates. The user enters a domain, picks HTTP or DNS validation, and downloads a ZIP with the cert, chain, and private key. Wildcards supported.

Live demo: https://mapachessl.com

Uses the ACME v2 protocol via skoerfgen/acmecert — no certbot dependency.

Stack

Laravel 12, PHP 8.3, Alpine.js, Tailwind 4, Vite 7, SQLite. Docker for deployment.

Setup

cp .env.example .env
docker compose up --build -d
docker compose exec app php artisan key:generate
docker compose exec app php artisan migrate

Open http://localhost:8080.

Local dev without Docker: composer install && npm install && composer dev.

Configuration

In .env:

• ACME_STAGING — true for testing against Let's Encrypt staging (no rate limits, untrusted certs).

Notes

• SQLite, single-node.
• No automatic renewal — each request is one-shot.
• HTTP-01 needs the domain pointing at a server you control on port 80.
