Does thttpd support let's encypt cert?

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version): thttpd 2.29

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Debian 9

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):

Certbot may not support it “natively”.
But you should be able to use certbot with --webroot -w /the/web/root
Yes, a bit “more” manual; but this only needs to be done once (just to get a cert).
Certbot cert renewals will reuse those settings automatically.

Anything that ends with full automation is a win in my book.

thttpd doesn’t support TLS (SSL) at all. So automatically, it doesn’t support Let’s Encrypt certs too.

There is however a fork of thttpd with TLS support added: https://github.com/troglobit/merecat/

Another option would be to use a specific TLS proxy/termination application, such as Hitch.
