Letsencrypt NEVER auto-renews on any site ever

v3
#1

Can someone tell me W_T_F I am doing wrong? I have tried so many cronjob configs on so many sites, nothing works. The last one I tried was:

@monthly ee site update --le=renew --all 2> /dev/null

But it fails like all the others. Can someone give me a bulletproof cronjob config that actually works with a straight up ee site. My sites are all standard issue linux 16/18 VPS from digital ocean, the only thing installed on them is ee and my website files. I have NEVER got autorenew with LE to work properly on an ee site. HELP please!

and YES, I am running it as root in the root crontab, so I should not need sudo.

@ssuess – What version of EasyEngine are you using?

Try this:

30 0 * * 0 /opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto renew > /dev/null 2>&1.

Before you add this to your crontab try running just /opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto renew and make sure the command runs okay on it’s own.

It has not mattered at all what version I have been using, they have all failed. currently on latest stable (not beta)

Thanks! I will try that. I ran the command and it worked perfectly btw. I will wait to see at the next period if everything is ok and working.

Tried this from CRON and it didn’t work (EasyEngine v3.7.4). Tried from the command line though and it did (first thing it did was upgrade certbot-auto 0.26.1 to 0.27.1). Will have to log the CRON output and see if I get anything useful (or maybe that upgrade helped?)…

Confirm this has now worked, from CRON.
