Understanding the ‘nobody’ user in Linux and Unix systems is essential for anyone managing services and processes.

NGINX has announced the preview release of the nginx-acme module, which adds native support to NGINX for the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol:

Being able to configure ACME directly using NGINX directives drastically reduces manual errors and eliminates much of the ongoing overhead traditionally associated with managing SSL/TLS certificates. It also reduces reliance on external tools like Certbot, creating a more secure and streamlined workflow with fewer vulnerabilities and a smaller attack surface.
