Auto-renewal of Let’s Encrypt certificates

The other day, I was in the process of moving my blog to Pelican, a static site generator. Browsing for some themes I stumbled upon Pelican Alchemy, which led me to the site of the Nairobi GNU/Linux Users Group, where I found some nice blog posts.

One in particular caught my eye and I intend to investigate it later this weekend: Using systemd Timers to Renew Let’s Encrypt Certificates.

Looks nice, and very useful for my webserver on which I have a bunch of Let’s Encrypt certificates installed. Automating the renewal sounds appealing and it was already on my list of ‘things to look into’.
