It would help if gitlab's web interface could make it possible to renew letsencrypt security certificates more easily than running local commands and cutting and pasting the certbot handshake string, then the SSL public and private keys. I have to do this every 3 months for the website for an open source project. Or if gitlab could sell ssh access to a VM host (for this purpose, not to use do any other significant computing) at reasonable cost.

GitLab now uses Let's Encrypt for self-hosted installations. We plan to start using it for GitLab pages sites with custom domains and applications deployed with Auto DevOps. The issue for the latter is at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41355
