Certbot (and other acme clients such as acme.sh) are practically set and forget. I’ve never once had to touch those configs again once they were made ~4 years ago.

Certbot is a snap application nowadays. I was pretty screwed up when I decided to install it on CentOS system without SELinux, which snap requires.

But I would agree here, even when I had the problems with LE (botched cron config) it only required me to 'administer' it 4 times a year. And when I fixed cron config I don't need to do even that.

I’ve personally switched to using acme.sh over certbot. Much easier to setup (since it’s just a bash script) and supports practically every DNS API.
