I created Page Builder Application for my clients but I am facing difficulties in SSL creation because of users counts is too large (more than 1000). I know its not right procedure SSL certificate creating manually and restarting for each user which is bad idea. I want to apply SSL certificate automatically who all are pointing my DNS A record.
I am using GCP Cloud with nginx server.
Thank you.
You've received recommendations for LetsEncrypt and Certbot, but it doesn't look like you've followed up either of them. Certbot is a script that will automatically create LetsEncrypt certificates and install them directly into the nginx server instances, basically doing all the heavy lifting of the automation you need to do. LetsEncrypt is, of course, a certificate authority, so you're not dealing with self-signed certificates. I strongly recommend looking into Certbot for your application.
See: certbot
You can even load it as a Python module under pyenv and/or virtualenv for kicks.
certbot is pretty simple, overall... it's literally a Python module, which you can find on pypy and install with pip, under many different versions on Python. It gets "as difficult as" specifying a configuration, with a specific domain name, and having the "right" pieces to allow the certbot servers actually verify challenge/reponse data, on the fly.
certbot is a Python module... create your Python environment (preferably under a virtual environment of some sort) and then pip install certbot - once that is done, you can start with certbot --help (which is common to Python modules, overall)
I also had a similar issue before, I was using GCP managed SSL certs.
There is an open request, to add more domains to the SSL cert without recreating the Cert itself so you could add more domains to a single cert.
If you think this could benefit you, please +1 the request tracker.
