# Renew SSL certificate

The website's SSL certificate is provided for free by [LetsEncrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) and is managed using the [dokku letsencrypt plugin](https://github.com/dokku/dokku-letsencrypt).

In most cases the certificate is renewed automatically by a cron job installed with `dokku letsencrypt:cron-job --add`. 

If necessary, you can renew a certificate using:

```
dokku letsencrypt:auto-renew APP
```
