By leveraging the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol, this feature automates the traditionally complex task of certificate generation, validation, and renewal. Whether you're securing a website or internal network services, ACME provides an efficient and user-friendly way to ensure your communications remain encrypted and authenticated. This section walks you through using the ACME feature in Nodegrid, including handling both HTTP-01 and DNS-01 challenges, to help you maintain a secure and compliant network environment. It also provides steps if you would want to renew or revoke the certificate.
