Using the tutorial above for Cloudflare, how do I go about updating the SSL certificate before it expires? Is there a way to set it up to automatically renew 30 days prior to expiration?

Hi @jpvonoy,
I recommend using Certbot. Certbot will install a free Let’s Encrypt certificate and will actually help you auto-update it. DigitalOcean have a pretty good tutorial that will help you do exactly that :
Alternatively, if you want to use Cloudflare’s SSLs you can check the following article: How-do-I-add-SSL-to-my-site-cloudflare
You can install certbot and use it to automatically renew the SSL certificate. certbot official website
