Author of ProjectPending here. I started this project after setting up another domain I had registered and was not happy about the process of setting it up the Nth time to show a simple landing page. Doing all the configuration was fun the first time but not after that. So to fix I built an automated service that handles everything itself.<p>To pull this service off I had to do some web stack wrangling. It&#x27;s basically a Node.js monolith app that handles everything:<p>* serves it&#x27;s admin website, for what I used Hapi framework<p>* runs a custom DNS server, based on node-dns2 module, records are stored in DB as global key-value pairs instead of zones<p>* LE certificate provisioning using DNS protocol, based on ACME.js, certs are stored to DB<p>* HTTPS server that fetches certs from DB on SNI handshake<p>* email server integration with WildDuck (another of my projects) to configure email accounts and to accept, store and forward emails
