Versions:
Certimate 0.4.21 is an open-source SSL-certificate management utility published by Yoan.liu that automates the acquisition, deployment, and renewal of free SSL/TLS certificates for any number of domains. Aimed at solo developers running personal projects and at small-business IT staff who juggle multiple host names, the tool eliminates the repetitive, error-prone tasks that accompany manual certificate handling: generating CSRs, validating domain control, downloading certificates, installing them on the correct server, and remembering to repeat the cycle every ninety days. Instead, Certimate offers a lightweight, locally hosted workflow engine that can be started as a single binary, launched via an official Docker image, or built from source; once running, it stores all configuration and credential data on the user’s own infrastructure, keeping sensitive information away from third-party clouds. Through a minimal web interface users define certificate policies—selecting domains, choosing ACME providers, and specifying target deployment paths—and the software thereafter monitors expiry dates and automatically re-issues and installs new certificates before the old ones become invalid, removing the risk of sudden site outages due to forgotten renewals. The application belongs to the server-security and DevOps-automation categories and has progressed through thirty public releases, of which 0.4.21 is the current stable build. Certimate is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
