-Installs Certbot (for Let's Encrypt) for RHEL/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu.
+Installs and configures Certbot (for Let's Encrypt).
 
 ## Requirements
 
-Certbot requires Git to be installed. You can install Git using the `geerlingguy.git` role.
+Certbot requires Git to be installed if one wants to install Certbot from Git repository instead of package management. You can install Git using the `geerlingguy.git` role.

+Certbot Git repository options. This role clones the agent from the configured repo, then makes the `certbot-auto` script executable if `certbot_from_git` is `yes`. Otherwise it will be installed from distribution's package management.

-By default, this role configures a cron job to run under the provided user account at the given hour and minute, every day. The defaults run `certbot-auto renew` via cron every day at 03:30:00 by the user you use in your Ansible playbook. It's preferred that you set a custom user/hour/minute so the renewal is during a low-traffic period and done by a non-root user account.
