 This document does not cover how to deploy the File Fabric in your virtual environment, only how to configure the software once the virtual appliance is deployed. For production deployments see [[sizingguide|]].
-For the Google Cloud Platform see [[:googlecloud-gettingstarted]].
 For VMWare, vSphere 5.5 or above is required.
+The virtual appliances support public and private clouds. Images are also available for the following:

 After successful completion, the Enterprise File Fabric will automatically start using the new certificates.  These certificates will last for 90 days, so the final step is to setup automated renewal.
+### Automatically renewing the certificate
+A Let’s Encrypt certificate is valid for 90 days, and can be automatically renewed within 30 days of expiration. A simple cron job will run daily and handle renewals.
+Please Note: The File Fabric will be inaccessible during the renewal. Please ensure that the renewal time is during off hours. Downtime will only occur every 60 days when a renewal is required and may last up to one minute.
+While still logged in as root run the following command to add a cron job.
+    crontab -e
+In the example below the renewal attempt will process at 2:30AM in the timezone of the Enterprise File Fabric. The Enterprise File Fabric ships by default with the timezone set to UTC time. Please adjust this timezone as necessary.
+2 * * * /bin/certbot renew >> /var/log/letsencrypt/le-renew.log
+This will create a crontab entry for a cron job that will handle the renewals and write its output to a log file.
+Use https://www.ssllabs.com/ to test the installation.
 # Part II - Configure Appliance and create the first organization
-You must perform a few steps before you can get started with the system.
+<WRAP center round important 100%>
+Starting with 1906.06, a new configuration value will need to be added to the File Fabric's core configuration file. Please [[appliance/editing-config|follow this guide for editing the configuration file]]. The following configuration flag must be present:
+<code>
+var $redishost = 'localhost:6379';
+</code>
+</WRAP>
+You must perform a few steps before you can get started with the system.
 After the system is restarted, log into %%https://<yourhostname>/%% with a browser. Use the “appladmin” username. The appliance is a multi-tenant system, so the first thing we need to do is to set up the appliance and the first tenant.
