# Script updates the specified (already existing) certificate
# on the pfSense box.

# This script should be securely placed with limited access
# (e.g. owned by root with permissions of 700) to avoid
# compromising the API Keys
# /conf is the recommended path as a good persistent storage
# location.

# ECDSA Keys ARE supported

## Recommended cron -- run at boot (in case system was powered off
# during a renewal, and run weekly)
# Pick any time you like. This time was arbitrarily selected.

# cron package must be installed and then settings can be configured
# in Services > Cron
# @reboot sleep 15 && /script/path/here
# 5 4 * * 2 /script/path/here

# /conf is a persisting path (e.g. use /conf/certwarden)
