|
||||
**Why you care:** Without it, browsers scream "NOT SECURE!" and people won't trust your site.
|
||||
|
||||
**What you do:** Nothing. Charon gets free certificates from Let's Encrypt and renews them automatically.
|
||||
### Choose Your SSL Provider
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:** Lets you select which Certificate Authority (CA) issues your SSL certificates.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why you care:** Different providers have different rate limits and reliability. You also get a staging option for testing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Where to find it:** Go to System Settings → SSL Provider dropdown
|
||||
|
||||
**Available options:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Auto (Recommended)** — The smart default. Tries Let's Encrypt first, automatically falls back to ZeroSSL if there are any issues. Best reliability with zero configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Let's Encrypt (Prod)** — Uses only Let's Encrypt production servers. Choose this if you specifically need Let's Encrypt certificates and have no rate limit concerns.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Let's Encrypt (Staging)** — For testing purposes only. Issues certificates that browsers won't trust, but lets you test your configuration without hitting rate limits. See [Testing SSL Certificates](acme-staging.md) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
- **ZeroSSL** — Uses only ZeroSSL as your certificate provider. Choose this if you prefer ZeroSSL or are hitting Let's Encrypt rate limits.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended setting:** Leave it on "Auto (Recommended)" unless you have a specific reason to change it. The auto mode gives you the best of both worlds—Let's Encrypt's speed with ZeroSSL as a backup.
|
||||
|
||||
**When to change it:**
|
||||
- Testing configurations → Use "Let's Encrypt (Staging)"
|
||||
- Hitting rate limits → Switch to "ZeroSSL"
|
||||
- Specific CA requirement → Choose that specific provider
|
||||
- Otherwise → Keep "Auto"
|
||||
### Smart Certificate Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:** When you delete websites, Charon asks if you want to delete unused certificates too.
