@Blort@social.tchncs.de @gpumoto@mastodon.social Certbot is an ACME client (one of many) that let you obtain certificates from an ACME compatible certificate authority. Let’s Encrypt is the most popular free ACME compatible CA, but there are others.

@Blort@social.tchncs.de Let's Encrypt is a Certificate signing Authority (CA) . Certbot is an automated program that generates SSL Certificates and gets the Certificate signed (in this case by Let's Encrypt) and updates it in the server. Pretty cool system. Hope this helps!
