    server_name mysite.example.org;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.error.log info;

    include snippets/acme-challenge.conf;
    include snippets/https-permanent-redirect.conf;
}

server {
    include snippets/listen-https.conf;
    server_name mysite.example.org;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.error.log info;

    include snippets/acme-challenge.conf;
    #include snippets/ssl.conf;
    #ssl_certificate      /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.example.org/fullchain.pem;
    #ssl_certificate_key  /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.example.org/privkey.pem;
    #more_set_headers "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000";

    root /var/www/mysite;
} }}

1. Create the config file /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite.example.org

   server {
       include snippets/listen-http.conf;
       server_name mysite.example.org;
   
       access_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.access.log;
       error_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.error.log info;
   
       include snippets/acme-challenge.conf;
       include snippets/https-permanent-redirect.conf;
   }
   
   server {
       include snippets/listen-https.conf;
       server_name mysite.example.org;
   
       access_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.access.log;
       error_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.error.log info;
   
       include snippets/acme-challenge.conf;
       #include snippets/ssl.conf;
       #ssl_certificate      /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.example.org/fullchain.pem;
       #ssl_certificate_key  /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.example.org/privkey.pem;
       #more_set_headers "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000";
   
       root /var/www/mysite;
   }
   

2. Activate the configuration with

   # ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite.example.org /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
   # service nginx reload
   

3. Edit file /usr/local/sbin/renew_certificates and add the following to the config list

   {
       'domains': ['mysite.example.org'],
       'reload': [['service', 'nginx', 'reload']]
   }
   

4. Get your certificate

   $ sudo /usr/local/sbin/certmanage

      will expire on 2025-07-22. To obtain a new or tweaked version of
      this certificate in the future, simply run certbot again. To
      non-interactively renew *all* of your certificates, run "certbot
      renew"
