Description

This is related to "[Feature request] ACME (letsencrypt) Support #2445". ACME letsencrypt support for the syncthing discovery server would be very convenient in containerized environments. It is very inconvenient to use bind mounts or secrets in docker swarm to map certificates into a container. Ideally, the LetsEncrypt feature should resemble how Traefik does enrolment and renewal.

Research direction

Start by reading the related feature request #2445 and compare its scope with Traefik's ACME enrollment and renewal behavior. Then locate the discovery server entry point and determine the requirements for certificate enrollment and renewal in containerized environments; done means ACME support is defined and implemented without requiring certificate bind mounts or secrets.
