How is this different from/superior to Let's Encrypt's built-in "standalone authenticator"? [0]

The standalone authenticator still requires (1) installing/running the letsencrypt client on your production server, (2) letting it run as root, and (3) letting it access your private keys. My script requires none of these things.


I would add that it's also easier to understand. I've been having a lot of trouble figuring out ACME's workflow. This has been pretty helpful.
