Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The certificate for the site is from letsEncrypt. It has an expiry of 90 days. After that, we'd have to manually renew.

Describe the solution you'd like A cron job that can automatically renew the certificate, lets say 15 days before the expiry date. Describe about the libraries we can use, and the command that we can invoke.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into using certbot's built in cron job or systemd timer for automatic Let's Encrypt certificate renewal. Set the renewal period to 15 days before expiry and test the renewal command.
