What it does
Self-hosted platform that automates the entire TLS certificate lifecycle, from issuance through renewal to deployment, with zero human intervention. It works with any CA, deploys to any server, and keeps private keys on your infra where they belong. Free, source-available, covers the same lifecycle that enterprise platforms charge $100K+/year for.

From the cryptic terminal commands to the innumerable ways to shoot yourself in the foot, I always struggled to use TLS certificates. I love how much easier (and cheaper) Let's Encrypt made it to get certificates, but there are still plenty of things to struggle with. That's why we built Relay: a free, browser-based tool that streamlines the ACME workflow, especially for tricky setups like homelabs. Relay acts as a secure intermediary between your ACME client and public certificate authorities like Let's Encrypt. Some ways Relay provides a better experience: - really fast, streamlined…
- CFCertKit for automating SSL certs to Windows, JKS, and appliancesApr 2026 · certkit.io · ▲7
We’ve been managing web infrastructure for a long time. For most of that time, certificate management meant buying a cert, copying it to wherever it needed to go, and setting a calendar reminder. That works when certificates last a year. It stops working when lifetimes drop to 47 days. Certbot is the obvious answer but it doesn’t cover everything. It requires ACME on each server, which means each server needs to be internet-reachable or have DNS provider access. That rules out Windows servers, JKS keystores, and appliances that can’t run Certbot or speak ACME at all. CertKit handles ACME…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
