Nginx introduces native support for ACME protocol
We are very excited to announce the preview release of ACME support in NGINX. The implementation introduces a new module ngx_http_acme_module that provides built-in directives for requesting, installing, and renewing certificates directly from NGINX configuration.
Additionally, unlike existing external tools which can be prone to platform-specific limitations, a native implementation ensures greater portability and platform independence, making it a versatile and reliable solution for modern, evolving web infrastructures. It allows clients to interact with a Certificate Authority (CA) without requiring manual intervention, simplifying the deployment of secure websites and other services that rely on HTTPS. The rapid rise of HTTPS adoption globally has been driven largely by ACME protocol, making secure web connections a standard expectation.
