| [5] | For Updating existing certs, use [renew] subcommand. To run [renew] subcommand, all certs which have less than 30 days expiration are updated. If you'd like to update certs which has more than 30 days expiration, add [--force-renew] option. However, [certbot] package from Snapd has systemd timer, so it does not need to run it manually anymore. |
