    These docs are super lacking. What to do with the certs and such for self-hosting? I've only used certbot with LetsEncrypt with Nginx. How to handle this? Surprised there's no integrated app to do this for you that comes with Accelerator.

    There's a bug with setup, too:
    If you setup with no encryption, it still tries to serve an https page (http will fail).

    PS: You guys also have 2 download bugs:

    Currently the Accelerator really only uses TLS with the Collaborate source code caching, and there the certificate handling is all done automatically (and is backed by LetsEncrypt as well). For the Asset Pipeline V2 caching, there is early support for TLS, but there is no auth[nz] between the Editor and Accelerator right now, so it's a fairly odd story at the moment -- this will get better in the future.

    For now, if you are using only Asset Pipeline V2 caching, I'd recommend not running the Accelerator with TLS and just restricting access via networking, e.g. completely closed internal network or a vpn setup.

    For the download bugs and docs pages, I'll notify the right people handling those pages to get them updated. Definitely appreciate the bug reports.

    I would also recommend you guys go to your GitHub cache server README and have a bold/red warning at the top that this is deprecated. I spent a long time trying to set this up, only to find it was incompatible. I originally found it from a blog post or Reddit at the top of Google.

    Thanks for the tips/updates
