problem with renew let's encrypt SSL certificates

[Rezan Rasoul]

Hello,

I have a problem with renew the certificates for my website with BBB and greenlight

my certificate will be end at 24-09-2021, and I put this code

30 2 * * 1 /usr/bin/certbot renew >> /var/log/le-renew.log

35 2 * * 1 /bin/systemctl reload nginx

inside crontab -e like the documentation but its not renew the  certificate

What can i do for renew the the certificate?

Expiry Date: 2021-09-24 17:27:41+00:00 (VALID: 24 days)

Why would you need to renew? you still have 24 days to go.

it should renew before a 30 days automatically by the code

30 2 * * 1 /usr/bin/certbot renew >> /var/log/le-renew.log

35 2 * * 1 /bin/systemctl reload nginx

No, unless it is due to renew, it will not.

The Let’s Encrypte certificates are good for 90 days and can be automatically renewed. To automatically request a renewal once a week, edit the crontab file for root.

$ sudo crontab -e

And add the following two lines at the bottom:

30 2 * * 1 /usr/bin/certbot renew >> /var/log/le-renew.log

35 2 * * 1 /bin/systemctl reload nginx

These two directives will execute the certbot renew command every Monday at 2:30 am, and then reload Nginx at 2:35am (so the renewed certificate will be used). The output will be piped to a log file located at /var/log/le-renewal.log, so you can always check it later.

If you wish to renew earlier you can use the renewal parameter.

# renew_before_expiry = 30 days 

change your days here:

/etc/letsencrypt/renewal/my.domain.ca.conf

~b10

[Rezan Rasoul]

I tried to force renew but its failed

certbot renew --force-renewal

so there are a problem with setting or some thing else

[bayden10]

Did you set the parameter first?
