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: * /etc/crontab/
```bash
sudo crontab -e
```
Add the following: * /etc/cron.*/*
```bash
55 5 * * 5 /usr/bin/certbot renew
```
