Currently we use a cronjob for automated TLS cert renewals. However a systemd timer is a much cleaner option since it can be monitored by systemd and the start time can be easily randomized.

We should also contribute this to upstream and to the AUR package.

I finished packaging porkbun-dynamic-dns-python-git so we can reuse and slightly modify the systemd timer from that.

Oh 🤦 the certbot package already has a timer. Let's just use that then.

Alright, I set this up with the following file:

cat /etc/systemd/system/certbot-renew.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/certbot certonly --non-interactive --preferred-challenge dns --authenticator dns-porkbun --dns-porkbun-credentials /etc/porkbun.ini -d "exozy.me,*.exozy.me"

I also deleted the cronjob.
