Thanks for the link. I do understand pledge() and unveil() are used;
however, does that obviate any need to run it as a non-root user?

It appears the original author intended for certificates to be stored
under /etc/ssl/acme and keys under /etc/ssl/acme/private but this
requirement (and any indication of such intent) was dropped at some
point.
