Title: os-acme-client alternatives?
Post by: tek411 on August 25, 2025, 02:26:56 PM
Greetings!  What is everyone using for lets encrypt certs these days?  I have been using the os-acme-client but I noticed that its deprecated now and set to be removed after 9/12/2025?  So what is the recommended solution for this purpose moving forward?  TIA

EDIT:  Thank you for the replies and for clarifying that this is not applicable to OPNsense

Who says where that it is deprecated?

Maybe its one of the package dependencies?  On installation of the plugin on 25.7 I get the following:

Message from libxslt-1.1.43_1:

--
===>   NOTICE:

This port is deprecated; you may wish to reconsider installing it:

unmaintained with multiple unfixed security vulnerabilities.

It is scheduled to be removed on or after 2025-09-12.

Even if there really is a dependency, either it will be removed by then by replacing libxslt or libxslt itself will be fixed. There are may dependencies on libxslt in several packages, partly because libxml2 depends on it. Nearly any tool that uses XML one way or another needs that.

Whatever, there are probably no real implications whatsoever for os-acme-client.

These package messages are irrelevant in the OPNsense context as is very prominently displayed at the bottom of the textbox from which you copied the deprecation notice.
