Implement Automatic SSL Renewal #210

Implement Automatic SSL Renewal

At the time of writing, the SSL certificate for api.quotable.io is expired (#204, #207, #209).

This seems to be a recurring issue.

Implementing auto-renewal would be very useful in reducing certificate-based API downtimes.

One way is to incorporate with the API server an open-source tool like NGINX Proxy Manager, as a reverse proxy for api.quotable.io, since certificate management and auto-renewal for Let's Encrypt certificates are built-in.

Alternatively, utilizing Cron with Certbot on the API server, the Let's Encrypt SSL certificate(s) can be renewed at a set interval (such as monthly).

By implementing automatic SSL renewal, manual maintenance as well as service disruptions can be minimized.

It would be nice to have or at least renew it manually so far

I'm working on this now. Going to close this issue as a duplicate, check issue #204 for updates on this

@lukePeavey - just a thank you for your work + implementing this! (This crashed / messed up little project of mine that uses this!). If interested see here
