I am creating new certificates with $ vim /root/renew.sh

#!/bin/sh

/root/github.com/lukas2511/dehydrated/dehydrated -c
/usr/sbin/nginx -t && /usr/sbin/nginx -s reload

and $ crontab -e

@daily /root/renew.sh

Should we add such a sample to the documentation?

You could also reload nginx in a hook script and just use dehydrated -c in the cron, no need to write a wrapper script.
