addresses are of the form `IPV4:PORT`, `[IPV6]:PORT` (where the
`:PORT` suffix is optional and defaults to the HTTP port 80), or an
absolute path of a UNIX-domain socket (created with mode `0666`).
- Since the webserver component listens to a UNIX-domain socket by
- default, it is only suitable when an external HTTP daemon is
- publicly reachable and passes all ACME challenge requests to that

- unavailable), and possibly also set *iptables* to `Yes`.
