```
LetsencryptCert
```

Your webserver has to serve the token to LetsEncrypt.

```
LetsencryptCert -create -prod
LetsencryptCert -prod
```

## Executing tool every day (Linux)

```
crontab -e
```

Append

```
PATH=$PATH:/home/pi/.dotnet/tools
DOTNET_ROOT=/home/pi/.dotnet
0 4 * * * LetsencryptCert > /home/pi/logs/LetsencryptCert.log 2>&1
```

This executes dns update every day at 4 AM (universal time). Last log is saved in ```/home/pi/logs/LetsencryptCert.log```
