- Registers/requests a certificate with certbot (`amiiboapi.org,www.amiiboapi.org` by default)
- Copies `fullchain.pem` and `privkey.pem` from `/etc/letsencrypt/live/amiiboapi.org/` into the project root
- Sets file permissions to read/write for owner+group (`660`) on both certificate files
- Installs `/etc/cron.d/amiiboapi-certbot` to run renewal checks twice daily
- Installs `/etc/cron.d/amiiboapi-certbot` to run renewal checks monthly
- `certbot renew` attempts renewal for certificates with 30 days or less remaining (90-day validity period)
