[Bioperl-l] Bad SSL certificate at bioperl.org

[Hilmar Lapp]

I thought activating that option required HTTPS and a valid SSL cert on the source site too. At least that’s what it seemed to be recently when I tried that (with my own website, also currently hosted off of Github Pages).

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.

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.
