+1 for dehydrated [1]. Aside from being able to run basically anywhere, it is very easy to script: Create a file with the list of domains you want, and run `dehydrated --cron`. dehydrated will obtain certs and/or modify existing and/or renew, or just do nothing.

Certbot is designed for interactive use: obtaining, changing and renewing certificates are all distinct commands, and if you tell it to obtain a cert you already have, it'll just obtain it anyway. Handling this from a script is a huge pain.
