Wondering how do people here apply certificates to internal websites?
e.g. A unifi controller, so when I visit https://unifi01 I don't get the warning.Do you use external provider like 123reg and buy a SSL cert or do something internal?
Normal old school certs from GoDaddy or Digicert apply easily to these situations, you create a CSR, export it, use that information on the cert providers website, export your cert from them, install it on your internal host - done.
This isn't so easy to do with Let's Encrypt. This is because LE needs to check your ownership of a website by having direct access to that website.
That said, assuming you do have a website, you can have LE include a SAN, which is your internal servername, export the cert from the externally facing site, after LE installs the cert, then import that cert to your internal server. Then manually do that process whenever the cert is updated on the external server.
LE does not require connectivity to your server. You can also use DNS authentication. Have been able to do it since late last year I do believe.
Oh nice. So you just run the LE script on the internal host (assuming it's allowed out to the internet) then update the DNS when told, then continue the script and get the cert? awesome!.
Question - do you have to update the DNS record each time you renew (to ensure you still own the domain?) -

It's odd because, for Linux, being on a domain doesn't make sharing files between them easier. For the use case listed it would add near zero benefit.
is that true? If a Linux box is part of a domain, it's not easier to map a SMB share? i.e. don't need to provide credentials when making the connection?
You'd still have provide credentials. It makes no part of the mapping easier, at least to my knowledge.
Good to know.

I'm stuck in a meeting for the next hour with a whole leg of my boxers wedged firmly in my butt crack. There is no escape. There is no fixing it. There is only suffering.

Hopefully there are no "hostages" in this situation. Hahaha

Make others suffer with you and give everyone atomic wedgies.

As long as there is SSH enabled, you have sftp between the Pis themselves and you can do that on Windows Boxes with something like Filezilla. Don't even need to map or "setup" shares.

Correct, I think @Dashrender and I were talking about SMB shares though.

Exactly why I was so confused. how is that not working? He's asking for all this info, but doesn't have any info on what was tried or why it failed.

The share type doesn't matter, you still have to authenticate to it, proving you are the person / system that has access to the share.
Unless of course you're using anonymous access. . .

Understood, I think @Dashrender was assuming it worked similar to how SMB shares work on an AD domain with a Windows client. Where it authenticates in the background.

On every linux system I've used credentials still had to be provided explicitly for that connection.
Edit: I've only connected to windows shares a few times (so take it for what its worth)

That was my point. You hit the nail on the head.
