How to configure Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates for Home Assistant completely 100% free (Updated for 2022/2023) - Configuration - Home Assistant Community
UPDATED 2/22/2023: It looks like Cloudflare may be preventing users from getting Let’s Encrypt certificates using domains that end in cf, .ga, .gq, .ml or .tk. In order to continue with a completely free solution, you may need to implement your own DNS server as described by the EFF (organization that created LE).
