I am still using dehydrated. It is a simple shell script which just
depends on curl, openssl and ca-certificates. There is an additional
package for apache2 support, which just contains the site configuration
for the web challenge thing, and one for DNS challenge.

I think there is an alternative to it, called acme.sh. I never looked
into it.

Aside from that there is a huge ton of other ACME clients in various
programming languages. AFAIR Let's Encrypt web page has a list.

Best,
