Show HN: I built a simple web server with ACME support

Hello HN!

I originally built this tool to see what happened if one wrote a web server from scratch and made it face the public web (I also nudged some communities to crash it intentionally). It was a fun experience and I used that small server to host my website since then.

Over time, I learned about managing a VPS and the hassle involved with certificate management. I also wanted to host multiple websites on the same server. For these reasons I worked for about a year to add virtual hosts and automatic HTTPS by implementing the ACME protocol (RFC 8555). The new server is currently hosting https://coz.is
