### Certificate renewal
Your certificates expire after a period of time. You can, however, automate renewal by adding a [cron job](https://www.ostechnix.com/a-beginners-guide-to-cron-jobs/) that schedules when the specific renewal command should be run.
Your certificates expire after a period of time. However, the Certbot packages on your system should come with a [cron job](https://www.ostechnix.com/a-beginners-guide-to-cron-jobs/) or a [systemd timer](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Timers) that automatically renews them before they expire. This will be installed in one of the following locations:
Start by running:
```bash
sudo crontab -e
```
* /etc/crontab/
Add the following:
```bash
55 5 * * 5 /usr/bin/certbot renew
```
* /etc/cron.*/*
This means the certificates will be renewed every week on Friday at 05:55. You can of course edit these times according to your preferences!
* systemctl list-timers
Save your changes and exit the editor.
Time to restart Apache and load all of these changes!
