 @8e8757b2 @The Dread Pirate Tony  my auto renew keeps breaking 
 I don't mind doing it manually, but in this instance I forgot and happened to be a my GFs house the night it expired lol. 

It takes like 2 minutes...it's not that big of a deal 
 @The Dread Pirate Tony  @8e8757b2 @67975218 You can easily write a script for it though. Then you never have to worry about it 
 It's not that big of a deal, but you make a good point lol 
 @6e030f75 @The Dread Pirate Tony  @8e8757b2 @67975218 until it breaks cause some retarded faggot decided to change shit for no god damn reason 
 Luckily I do all of my own server admin so no retards allowed. 

If you break it you buy it. 

Jk you can't break it because you're not allowed into it lol. 

I keep my shit bare bones with what works so it never goes down 
 @The Dread Pirate Tony  @6e030f75 @8e8757b2 @67975218 no, someone at the certificate factory, or your web server software, or the distro
and then they'll be like UM AKSHUALLY YOU HAVE NO REASON TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE WE ANNOUNCED THIS CHANGE ON PAGE 457 OF THE RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.127a.0.2.CUM.1488 
 based and accurate 
 @09085299 @The Dread Pirate Tony  @8e8757b2 @67975218 

This is literally my script and it hasn't failed me yet

#!/bin/bash 
 systemctl stop nginx 
 certbot renew --standalone 
 systemctl start nginx 
 @67975218 @The Dread Pirate Tony  use acme.sh 
 @8e8757b2 @The Dread Pirate Tony  i just use certbot and it automatically sets it up i think, is that bad? the reason it breaks is i keep fucking with other things like nginx config 
 @67975218 @8e8757b2 @The Dread Pirate Tony  it breaks because, indeed, certbot wants to fuck with nginx. some other acme clients like dehydrated or acme-tool do a better job keeping to themselves and their 2 directories but it ultimately doesn't matter as long as it works. very easy to overcomplicate a straightforward job 
 @8e8757b2 @67975218 @The Dread Pirate Tony  Or yk adding certbot renew to cron :alex_lol: 
 Make a note to renew that shit lol
