To install LetsEncrypt free SSL on ERPnext site, run

This will ask for your confirmation to restart nginx. Running this on cronjob won’t work. But you can use “echo y” to get it work. But it is better just to certbot-auto to renew SSL.
To auto renew create a cronjob
crontab -e
Add
30 2 * * 1 /usr/serverok/ssl-renew >> /var/log/le-renew.log
Create file
mkdir /usr/serverok/ vi /usr/serverok/ssl-renew
Add
#!/bin/bash systemctl stop nginx /opt/certbot-auto renew systemctl start nginx
Make it executable
chmod 755 /usr/serverok/ssl-renew
