I challenge you to find a host you can't install this on: https://github.com/kristapsdz/acme-client-portable

If you bring up that you don't control the host (shared hosting), then we should shame the shared hosting provider, who has no excuse.

Then as I said: shame on Heroku.
So the solution is to run code that I have no idea if it will function properly on my host to see if it will work? But this is all supposed to be super easy, right? I was just supposed to be able to run certbot, and now I just need to run this random package that I hadn't heard of until 5 minutes ago.

It's almost like this isn't a super simple process for everyone.

What now? I get to experience experimental functionality?
