Certbot on aws lambda?

[tommedema]

I would like to contribute to this repo by building certbot for AWS lambda.

Am I correct in assuming that I would have to spin up a AWS linux EC2 instance, and then build certbot in a statically linked manner? How would one do this? I would like to give it a try after being brought into the right direction.

Yep, either from a docker. But isn't certbot in pure python already?

[tommedema]

@Miserlou yes but I'm trying to get an executable that I could run from e.g. node.js

If certbot is already pure python, you don't need to "run it from node.js". I'd suggest packaging and deploying using Zappa, then use the invoke command to call something like subprocess.check_output([ "/usr/bin/python2.7", "/var/task/certbot/whatever/certbots/cli/main/entrypoint/is" etc
