Automatic certbot renew on a Mac

It seems like everyone is using cron for setting up certbot renew on Macs but I couldn't find anyone doing it with launchd. The other file in this Gist is the service file.

The documentation on the Let's Encrypt site actually recommends having it run twice a day (12 hours apart) but I've found that once a day is more than sufficient since if it fails it still has another 29 days to succeed.

 * I couldn't find a super simple example of how to run Karma, PhantomJs, with
 * Jasmine tests via npm, so eventually I decided to create my own. Maybe
 * someone will find it useful.

 *
 * Installation (using npm):
 *
 *  npm install -g karma-cli
 *  npm install -g karma --save-dev
