<br class="">
1) We could front the site with Cloudflare. This would give us a free SSL cert from Cloudflare. It would not redirect http to https, and would require moving DNS for the domain to Cloudflare.<br class=""></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br class="">
2) Proxy the traffic from <a href="http://github.io" class="">Github.io</a> through our Apache server on AWS. This would allow us to redirect http to https, and we'd use a Let's Encrypt SSL cert. For Apache the LE certbot can auto-renew, I think. In essence this is us doing some of what Cloudflare would do, except for DDOS protection, so the site would then have a single point of failure.<br class="">
<br class="">
3) Use Gitlab Pages for hosting. This would allow SSL certs for custom domains. My understanding is they also support Let's Encrypt for cert renewal, but I haven't tried that yet. Downside is that now we're hosting the repo in a different place than everything else Bioperl. I also don't know about redirecting http to https.<br class="">
