MAMP: Let's Encrypt Auto Renew SSL Crontab Job - Mac OS X
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2021 3:34 am
If you use Let's Encrypt SSL certificates for MAMP, you can create a crontab to automatically check your domains for SSL renewals. Below, we create a crontab that will check at 1:15am each morning.
1. Open Terminal.
2. Type
3. Hit "i" and then type
4. Type to save the crontab job.
Some users are reporting that even though this job will automatically check for SSL renewal updates each day, you need to manually restart APACHE if a new SSL is renewed in order to apply the latest SSL certificate to your website host (if you are mapping SSL's using the LIVE alias').
