How to forcefully renew Let’s Encrypt certificate
In Linux and Unix, there are multiple ways to issue and renew the Letsencrypt TLS/SSL certificates. However, in this tutorial, we are going to use the two most popular command-line tools that you can use:
We can always force cert renewal even if it is not near its expiration date.
certbot – Request a new certificate using
certbot renew --force-renewal command.
We can specify domains using the -d option. For example, certbot -d cyberciti.biz,www.cyberciti.biz,test.cyberciti.biz --force-renewal
acme.sh – Force to renew a cert immediately using the acme.sh -f -r -d www.cyberciti.biz
