Title says it - I want a simple CA that doesn’t overcomplicate things (looking at you, EJBCA). I need it to serve at least CRLs or better OCSP automatically for the certs it manages. If it comes with a Web GUI, all the better, but doesn’t need to. Docker deployment would be sweet.

Currently handling this on an OPNSense I happen to be running, but that thing is also serving stuff to the public 'net, so I’d rather not have my crown jewels on there.

This entire question has oxymorons all over it, but…

  • EasyRSA - simple and well-known CLI implementation that is used almost everywhere for OpenVPN
  • Step - newer on the block, but seems extremely well documented and fairly well used
  • XCA - old-school, but still actively developed. May not even work on more modern machines
