Hi,

do you plan a [letsencrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) integration for rancher? Cause there certificates are only valid for 90 days and there is a automated renewal process in there tool chain.

Greetings from Switzerland,

This seems like something that would be best as a [rancher-catalog](https://github.com/rancher/catalog) template that interacts in a standalone codebase (probably in Go) with the Let’s Encrypt + Rancher APIs, rather than baking support for a very specific niche into Rancher itself (actually Cattle, and in Java).
