Certbot Auto-Renewal Configuration
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I already have Let’s Encrypt running on an Apache server; what’s missing is a rock-solid, hands-off renewal setup. With full SSH access ready for you, I need Certbot configured so the certificate renews automatically, Apache reloads smoothly, and any failure is logged for quick troubleshooting.
The process is straightforward: inspect the current Certbot install, enable and test the recommended systemd timer (or cron if you prefer), run a forced renewal to prove it works, and leave a brief README on the server that notes the commands you touched and where the logs live.
A short note showing similar work you’ve completed is all I’m after in the proposal—no lengthy pitches. The job is done when a dry-run completes error-free and the live site presents the renewed certificate without downtime.
