+Simple setup for automatic renewal of certificates with Certbot. (Because I always have to search for it...)
+
+## setup
+
+- First of all Certbot has to be installed.
+- Put the configured sites in `/etc/nginx/conf.d/`
+- first of all generate the config: `sudo certbot --nginx -d example.site -d www.example.site` (⚠️ This will change your config)
+- Put `/usr/bin/certbot renew --quiet` wherever it is needed (eg. Systemd timer/service, cron job)
