Description
Hello! This project is a TLS/X.509 certificate manager and PKI. Designed to provision and install your TLS certificates across public and private endpoints. It's something I created for my home lab, but has quickly expanded as I have been experimenting more and more with AI development tooling.You can see the product overview: https://www.zaita.com It's architecture and usage is nicely documented: https://docs.zaita.comUnfortunately, you do need to sign up to have a play, but there is a demo instance that doesn't require a credit card. Just enter an email (I won't send you any emails) and password.Keen for feedback. I've found the major players in the industry are only interested in Enterprise arrangements. I wanted something I could use in my home lab across my many docker containers etc, but still had cool features like network discovery and certificate transparency log scanning.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic UI for issuing certificates via ACME or OpenSSL wrappers can be vibe coded, but building a robust PKI system requires delicate cryptographic implementation, CA key security, and protocol compliance.
What it would actually take: Requires building an RFC 5280-compliant PKI engine, secure HSM or encrypted key storage, ACME server implementation (RFC 8555), CRL/OCSP responder infrastructure, and automated TLS deployment agents across servers. Demands strong expertise in applied cryptography, security engineering, and public key infrastructure standards.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a compliance & governance tool for Media & entertainment yet.
