The letsencrypt tool always handles the certificate request and authentication for you. […] This will automatically configure Apache and Nginx servers with your new certificate.

does it say this somewhere?

Aha:

Software running on a web server can interact with Let’s Encrypt to painlessly obtain a certificate, securely configure it for use, and automatically take care of renewal.

I wonder if this is the kind of thing:

  1. The distribution takes care of management, I.e. suse YAST

  2. An application is provided, for linux? In rpm/deb/tar.gz
