I have 2 forums ([https://freedomyachts.org](https://freedomyachts.org) and [https://knysnayachtowners.org](https://knysnayachtowners.org)) which reside on DigitalOcean. They were installed about 6 months ago using DigitalOcean’s pre-packaged droplet. They’re running 3.4.0.beta3-dev.

I use [redsift.com](http://redsift.com) to monitor my SSL certificates, and I’ve noted that both of these are due to expire in 21 days. These Let’s Encrypt certificates renew every 60 or 90 days, but for some reason it doesn’t appear that they’re auto-renewing this time. I believe that there’s a cron job that was supposed to do this.

How do I get this functioning again, especially since I’m about to head out sailing and won’t be monitoring this closely?
