At least in theory the certificates should have been
automatically renewed a couple of days ago, though.

This seems to be currently prevented by:
https://github.com/lukas2511/letsencrypt.sh/pull/202

While the issue has been fixed upstream, the fix hasn't made
it into the ElectroBSD ports tree yet.

I'll look into upgrading the port or switching to another
client[1] before the certificates become invalid.

According to the README it has a "strong focus on security".
