• How to be with ssl.no-default? Which certificate should be chosen in production?
• How to test automatically?

To-do list

• Renew certificates automatically without any extra overhead
• Force renew certificates
• Reduce Let's Encrypt API calls (rate limit)
  • nginx-le/nginx-le#14
  • --renew-by-default
• Security improvement
  • Up test result to A+ instead of A (in SSL Server Test by Qualys SSL Labs)
  • Review h5bp/server-configs-nginx#180
  • Review h5bp/server-configs-nginx#183
  • Review h5bp/server-configs-nginx#190
