I just used https://certbot.eff.org/

Put "certbot-auto renew --quiet --no-self-upgrade" in crontab and it does its own thing.

Visiting that website was eye opening.

Previously I had a monthly crontab script that updates my LE cert, but now it seems that certbot has been backported to my server's OS (Debian Jessie) which makes my script redundant.

I'll be glad to retire my script. :)

(sidenote: Would be interested to hear if there's actually any security issues with putting the certbot client on your machine)
