What's the advantage of running the API in google app engine as opposed to a google cloud VM instance that you can just SSH into? Setting up letsencrypt on a VM instance is 10x easier than this (and in my experience everything else you need to do is 10x easier).

This is not how Let's Encrypt is designed to work. Manually registering and then deploying a certificate and saying "don't forget to renew" does not make for a particularly high quality post.

Work in progress but: https://github.com/hatstand/gacertsbot/blob/master/appengine...

Currently relies on a fix to the appengine go SDK though: https://github.com/golang/appengine/pull/82

Renewing/replacing certificates, especially with App Engine, is the bane of my existence. I couldn't possibly imagine doing this every 3 months.

This being said, I appreciate the tutorial.

For a lot of smaller projects, running google app engine is 10x easier (and cheaper) then worry about a VM.

If you have a Kubernetes cluster you can use https://github.com/PalmStoneGames/kube-cert-manager. Certbot (https://certbot.eff.org/) also has several configurations.

Wait so does this work?
