Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Wait so does this work?

Should do if you manually patch your local SDK.

The fact that setting up SSL on Google's platform in 2017 requires reading a long article and repeating steps is really bad publicity - if this post is official it ought to be embarrassing. AWS, Heroku, Cloudflare have all moved on to automated certificate management for all their hosted services.

I wrote up a gist for my own memory: https://gist.github.com/charlieegan3/37c854f50198711a1b5e216... - it runs certbot in a container rather than installing it.

I recently moved my static site from app engine to S3 and cloudfront so I could take advantage of ACM certificates (as well as playing around with some more terraform).

> Done! Your site is now HTTPS protected! Don’t forget to renew your cert in 3 months 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.

It's hard to auto renew on GAE; in fact, I don't know how to config auto renew.
