Install Runcertbot

Overview

1. Download and extract 'runcertbot'
2. Configure Cron

Download and extract 'runcertbot'

$ wget http://runcertbot.com/resources/downloads/runcertbot-0.3.tar.bz2
$ cd /opt
$ sudo tar jxvf ~/runcertbot-0.3.tar.bz2
$ cd runcertbot
$ sudo ln -sf 0.3 latest

Install Certbot

$ sudo apt install certbot

Configure Cron

$ sudo bash
# crontab -e

If 'cron' has not been configured before, it is likely you will need choose an editor. I suggest using nano - 1.

# crontab -e
no crontab for root - using an empty one

Select an editor. To change later, run 'select-editor'.
  1. /bin/nano        <---- easiest
  2. /usr/bin/vim.tiny
  3. /bin/ed

Once an editor has been configured, running 'crontab -e' will allow you to edit the 'crontab' file. Insert the following line.

* * * * *	/opt/runcertbot/latest/runcertbot/sbin/runcertbot.sh >> /var/log/runcertbot.log

To exit, press CTRL + 'x', then 'y', then enter.
