If you’re automating the check why not automate the renewal directly?


I've missed expired certificates because of a configuration issue that broke the certbot automation. Granted, I could've read the certbot journalctl output, but 99.9% of the time that's a waste of time. Not like there was anything mission-critical on there.


who says they don't have the renewal automated?
