1 points · Open discussionIf you don't mind renewing manually every 3 months, my manual client [1] does DNS.

In Using Free SSL/TLS Certificates from Let’s Encrypt for NginxI'll plug my own client [1], which is also completely manual for those who don't want to go all in on the magic automation just yet. It also has DNS verification, which is probably more convenient in most cases.

In Early Impacts of Let's EncryptI'm afraid you'll have to go through renewal every 3 months, but I'll still make a shameless plug of my client [1]. It uses DNS validation exclusively so you can generate certificates wherever you want.
In addition, domain authorizations last for 10 months, so you don't have to go through the DNS verification each time: just renewing is sufficient. Run the issue command, drop new certs into configuration management, done. Couple minutes tops. Just set your calendar!
