Hi, installed certbot + nginx on debian 9
All good
It says packages comes with cron job, do I need to add job to crontab if so whats the command?
Or it will renew itself and dont have to do anything?
Thanks
Check for certbot/letsencrypt in /etc/cron.d/ .
If you installed from OS package manager, it should be there.
it is inded with this line
0 */12 * * * root test -x /usr/bin/certbot -a ! -d /run/systemd/system && perl -e 'sleep int(rand(43200))' && certbot -q renew
why test ?
The test command is there to ensure that the cronjob does not overlap with a systemd timer that may also have been installed, depending on how the distro is configured.
