Download certbot at https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/pip-other.

Stop Apache.

Run certbot-auto like this:

$ chmod +x certbot-auto
$ sudo ./certbot-auto renew -force-renewal --dry-run --preferred-challenges http

If this does not produce any error, you can rerun it without the --dry-run option:

$ chmod +x certbot-auto
$ sudo ./certbot-auto renew -force-renewal  --preferred-challenges http

Restart Apache.
