Renewing the certbot HTTPS

 sudo ./certbot-auto --apache
 # (Remember to enter 1, then 2 in the menu choices.)
 sudo service apache2 stop
 sudo service apache2 start

Add HTTPS to Curriepedia!

1. https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/
2. https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/debianjessie-apache

 sudo apt-get remove certbot
 cd ~
 sudo wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
 sudo chmod a+x certbot-auto
 sudo ./certbot-auto --apache

 # choose this option:
 # 2: Redirect - Make all requests redirect to secure HTTPS access.
 sudo service apache2 restart

 # Automating renewal after 15 June 2019:
 # From Here: https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/debianjessie-apache
 
 crontab -e

 # paste this to the bottom:
 0 0,12 * * * python -c 'import random; import time; time.sleep(random.random() * 3600)' && sudo ~/.certbot-auto renew 

However, the above renew command doesn't seem to work. The explicit commands to renew were:

 ~/./certbot-auto renew
 sudo systemctl reload apache2

But if we analyze the result:

We see it didn't work.

Details of renewing HTTPS

The correct way to renew, it seems, is to run:

 sudo ./certbot-auto --apache

Here is the output if we run that command instead:

 We were unable to find a vhost with a ServerName or Address of curriepedia.org.

 IMPORTANT NOTES:
  - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/curriepedia.org/fullchain.pem
    Your key file has been saved at:
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/curriepedia.org/privkey.pem
    Your cert will expire on 2019-06-15. To obtain a new or tweaked
    version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto
    again with the "certonly" option. To non-interactively renew *all*
    of your certificates, run "certbot-auto renew"
  - Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
    configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
    secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
    also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
    making regular backups of this folder is ideal.
