Open-source project of the week: Let’s Encrypt Azure Web App Renewer

There’s a growing consensus that all web sites should transition now to be encrypted with HTTPS. This comes at a cost, and with the friction associated with acquiring and renewing certificates. The problem of cost is now addressed by Let’s Encrypt, but the friction is still there.

Ohad Schneider has built Let’s Encrypt WebApp Renewer, a great Azure WebJob-ready console application built in C#, to reduce that friction for Azure Web Apps. The application builds on an existing Azure extension, letsencrypt-siteextension, with the following advantages:

  • Installs on any Web App, not necessarily the same one you’re managing.
  • Support for multiple Web Apps.
  • Built-in email notifications.
  • No eternal dependencies other than Let’s Encrypt.
  • Can be used in any environment.

Check out Let’s Encrypt Web App Renewer on GitHub!

Contribute to the week in .NET

As always, this weekly post couldn’t exist without community contributions, and I’d like to thank all those who sent links and tips. The F# section is provided by Phillip Carter, the gaming section by Stacey Haffner, the Xamarin section by Dan Rigby, and the Azure and UWP section by Michael Crump.

You can participate too. Did you write a great blog post, or just read one? Do you want everyone to know about an amazing new contribution or a useful library? Did you make or play a great game built on .NET? We’d love to hear from you, and feature your contributions on future posts. Please add your posts, it takes only a second.

We pick the articles based on the following criteria: the posts must be about .NET, they must have been published this week, and they must be original contents. Publication in Week in .NET is not an endorsement from Microsoft or the authors of this post.

This week’s post (and future posts) also contains news I first read on The ASP.NET Community Standup, on Weekly Xamarin, on F# weekly, and on The Morning Brew.
