Certificate Generation

What is the recommended method of certificate generation with GmCapsule? I tried out agate first, and that automatically generates self-signed certificates for a specified domain. These can be converted from der to pem format and will work with GmCapsule. Of course just generating a self-signed certificate isn't too hard, but I'm curious what everyone else is doing.

I'm doing it with a little bash script that calls the `openssl` CLI and sets the various alternative names and wildcards. This lets me also reuse the private key if there is need to update the certificate.

Thank you both! That script works great and it will be very convenient to have GmCapsule generate its own certificates in the future.
