Certs

We use certbot for our SSL certificates! The certificates need to be renewed every 3 months, there should be a cron task that attempts to renew them twice per day:

(in /etc/crontab)

0 0,12 * * * root sleep 559 && certbot renew --nginx -q

generated according to the certbot docs, adding the nginx flag for our particular config.

Otherwise, from an account that has sudo/root, just run

sudo certbot renew --nginx
