site_encrypt
Integrated Let's Encrypt certification for Elixir-powered sites without requiring external processes.
What is site_encrypt?
SiteEncrypt is an Elixir library that provides integrated TLS/SSL certification via Let's Encrypt for Elixir-based web applications. It eliminates the need for external processes like Certbot by allowing sites to automatically obtain and renew certificates directly within the Elixir runtime. The library is designed for small-to-medium Elixir sites that do not sit behind reverse proxies such as nginx.
Elixir developers building small-to-medium web applications, particularly those using the Phoenix framework, who want to handle TLS certification natively without relying on external tools or reverse proxies.
Developers choose SiteEncrypt for its seamless integration into the Elixir application lifecycle, reducing operational overhead by automating certificate management internally. Its unique selling point is the ability to use either a native Elixir ACME client (experimental) or the more stable Certbot client, offering flexibility while keeping the certification process within the Elixir ecosystem.
