Do you need a tiny CA for your homelab? No.
Will you learn a lot by setting one up? Absolutely.

One of my favorites - "We configure the server once, and we are done. The users get created on hosts, and permissions are managed and revoked automatically."

I am still trying to figure out smallstep/step-ca and /step-cli. I need those to run my own acme-capable CA, because I want everything to be reproducible on my dev machine, even the goddamn cert flow. AND THEY HAVE IT. Amazing stuff.

@smallsteplabs, I just tried the step-ca, and acme support! It is an extremely pleasant experience! I'm totally rolling this out for my homelab!
Want to learn Kubernetes from someone who is actually in the weeds of multiple production deployments? Check out this book from @chrislovecnm. He knows his stuff (and is offering a discount using the code 'mllove')!!

Learn by doing. Great resource for those new to mTLS - docs for @nginx @MySQL @PostgreSQL @apachekafka @nodejs and many others!

Bravo @ScottAdamsSays. If tech people never directly identified with Dilbert before, now you have just nailed 90% of the market. #moark8s
My latest post - enjoy!
`It’s turtles all the way down` - It’s a nerd form of slang which can leave you feeling completely lost (while comprehending every word).

Your only excuse – that it’s “too hard” – is no longer true. Automated certificate management with step and step-ca is free, open, and embarrassingly easy!
