I'm on the hunt for a self-service web server or application that lets our Dev engineers generate SSL certificates easily, similar to how QuickDNS allows for easy DNS record management. The idea is to avoid the hassle of buying certificates from providers like GoDaddy or Namecheap all the time. The engineers need short-lived, publicly trusted certificates, but I don't want to get into the nitty-gritty of installing and configuring solutions like ACME.sh or Certbot for them. Ideally, it would be something like a 'QuickTLS' tool where they can just click a link, generate their certificate using ACME on the backend, and download both the cert and the keys. Does anyone know of a solution that fits this description?

You could deploy a Caddy reverse proxy; it has built-in support for Let’s Encrypt, which could help automate your process a bit.
What about WinAcmе? Just throwing it out there!
That won’t work; I’m mostly dealing with Linux environments.
Just a note, it’s about getting publicly trusted certs. That’s what they really need.
Have you checked out CertWarden? It might be what you're looking for!
I came across it too, seems like a strong candidate!
Consider setting up EJBCA Community Edition. The official Docker image runs well out of the box and it should suit your needs.
Had to look that one up, seems like a super strong option, thanks!
Seriously, it's wild to think Dev engineers need help with Certbot and ACME.
That's not quite the goal. I need a solution where the users can create their own certs without me having to set everything up.
