Subject: HowTo: Renew the Let's Encrypt SSL certificate using certbot 

Port 80 is kept closed by default. This might be causing the certbot auto-renewal cronjob to fail. Therefore we must renew the certificate manually.


Step 1: Open port 80. (This is needed as the certificate renewal process runs some tests which requires client communication over port 80)


Step 2: Run the following command


sudo certbot certonly --force-renew -d richardsonlab.ucr.edu


Step 3: Confirm the certificate was renewed by running the following command


sudo certbot certificates
