Adding a domain was a manual per-domain script run. With domains arriving
continuously that does not hold, so certificate issuance is now automatic.
HTTP already needed no work: the nginx catch-all serves any Host and the SPA
resolves its tenant from that header. Only TLS needed a name-by-name step.
Two mechanisms:
- setup-wildcard-tls.sh issues one DNS-01 wildcard for *.<apex>, after which a
new tenant subdomain is live over HTTPS with zero certificate work.
- sync-domains.sh reconciles tenant-owned domains against a desired list on a
10-minute timer: issues what is missing, skips certificates with >30 days
left, skips names already covered by the wildcard, waits out unpropagated
DNS, and caps issuance per run so a bad source cannot burn the weekly ACME
budget.
Safety properties worth stating: a failed fetch of the desired list aborts the
run rather than reading as "remove every domain"; removing a domain disables
its server block but keeps the certificate, so re-adding is instant; malformed
hostnames are rejected before reaching certbot or an nginx server_name.
The source is pluggable - a file today, the Phase 9 domain registry once it
exists, whose MarketplaceDomain statuses already match what this needs.
