Implementation for Let's Encrypt HTTPS (SSL/TLS) for OrchardCore?

[tysongibby]

If someone else has already started an implementation of Let's Encrypt for OrchardCore, I would like to assist. If no one has started one, I am looking into doing it.

"Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit. It is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).
We give people the digital certificates they need in order to enable HTTPS (SSL/TLS) for websites, for free, in the most user-friendly way we can. We do this because we want to create a more secure and privacy-respecting Web." src: Let's Encrypt - About

I am currently considering the PKISharp project for this idea. PKISharp
It is an opensource project here on GitHub with an MIT license that uses the latest version of the Let's Encrypt ACME API. The project is also based in .NET Standard.

@tysongibby there was the concept of a module a while back. However, a lot of us host on Azure and they now have SSL encryption (free) via a service like Let's Encrypt (possibly is Let's Encrypt) so the module was no longer pursued. There is the initial thread here: #2607 and actual module work here (along with reason it was canceled): #3745

Thanks Jeff @jeffolmstead ! Makes sense. I did notice that Azure had that feature. It sounds like a very nice one. CertBot is also very easy to install and easy use with an any Apache/Linux server so it works great with .NETCore Kestrel server, but it is not integrated into OrchardCore. I appreciate the links to the initial thread and work.
