Thank you so much! I appreciate it.

I am using deSEC (https://desec.io) and have their hook.sh 
(https://github.com/desec-io/desec-certbot-hook) stored as 
"/etc/desec/hook.sh" on my system.

So, in your snippet, I should replace certbot-*-hook with 
"/etc/desec/hook.sh", right?

Also, does using "*.example.com" means that the generated cert can be 
used both for apex/naked domain and any of the subdomains?

Sure, I'll give it a try.
