Renewal
=======
.. note:: Let's Encrypt CA issues short lived certificates (90
days). Make sure you renew the certificates at least once in 3
months.
In order to renew certificates simply call the ``letsencrypt`` (or
letsencrypt-auto_) again, and use the same values when prompted. You
can automate it slightly by passing necessary flags on the CLI (see
`--help all`), or even further using the :ref:`config-file`. If you're
sure that UI doesn't prompt for any details you can add the command to
``crontab`` (make it less than every 90 days to avoid problems, say
every month).
Let's Encrypt is working hard on automating the renewal process. Until
the tool is ready, we are sorry for the inconvenience!
