I kept saying `deploy_hook` and `post_hook`, but no it's `renew_hook`, and if
there's unrecognized entry it'll just remove it! I have no idea how I made this
mistake...
It should look like this:
```
[renewalparams]
account = redacted
authenticator = webroot
webroot_path = /var/www/xmpp.someodd.zip,
server =
https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
key_type = ecdsa
renew_hook = prosodyctl --root cert import /etc/letsencrypt/live
```
Use this command now, to test:
```
sudo certbot renew --cert-name irc.xmpp.someodd.zip --force-renewal
```
I have to go through and update all my certs now...
What's frustrating is it'll fail silently and just remove the line from the
config. Thanks to this thread:
