6.6. Certificate renewal

The live server uses https://letsencrypt.org to provide secure, HTTPS connections. Every 3 months, the certificates expire and must be renewed. Ideally this is done by a cronjob, however due to Issue #114 this is not working at the moment. The procedure to renew the certificate is:

• Stop the live server:

cd tq_website
docker-compose stop

• Renew certificates:

certbot renew

• Start the live server again:

docker-compose up -d

• Check the logs and make sure everything is running as expected.
• Enjoy a cup of coffee.
