This project is an automated SSL certificate manager and orchestrator for Nginx proxy configurations. It functions as an ACME protocol client that handles the request, issuance, and renewal of security certificates for web services running in containers.
The system monitors Docker container lifecycle events to automatically provision certificates based on assigned hostnames. It automates the full certificate lifecycle, including domain ownership validation and the issuance of specialized wildcard or multi-domain certificates.
The tool manages security through both HTTP and DNS challenge resolution and persists certificates in local volumes. It ensures continuous encrypted connections by triggering automatic configuration reloads of the Nginx server whenever certificates are generated or updated.
