I will give one of my best cigars and a cold Lagunitas IPA to anyone who can tell me a simple-minded, step-by-step, idiot-level explanation of how to upgrade my website to comply with the ACMEv2 level mentioned in this email I received recently:
According to our records, the software client you’re using to get Let’s
Encrypt TLS/SSL certificates issued or renewed at least one HTTPS certificate
in the past two weeks using the ACMEv1 protocol. Your client’s IP address was:
2601:643:104:4230:5122:6e3e:4803:bf9b
Beginning June 1, 2020, we will stop allowing new domains to validate using
the ACMEv1 protocol. You should upgrade to an ACMEv2 compatible client before
then, or certificate issuance will fail. For most people, simply upgrading to
the latest version of your existing client will suffice. You can view the
client list at: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/client-options/
If you’re unsure how your certificate is managed, get in touch with the
person who installed the certificate for you. If you don’t know who to
contact, please view the help section in our community forum at
https://community.letsencrypt.org/c/help and use the search bar to check if
there’s an existing solution for your question. If there isn’t, please create
a new topic and fill out the help template.
ACMEv1 API deprecation details can be found in our community forum:

As a reminder: In the future, Let’s Encrypt will be performing multiple
domain validation requests for each domain name when you issue a certificate.
While you’re working on migrating to ACMEv2, please check that your system
configuration will not block validation requests made by new Let’s Encrypt IP
addresses, or block multiple matching requests. Per our FAQ
(https://letsencrypt.org/docs/faq/), we don’t publish a list of IP addresses https://remotedesktop.google.com/access/
we use to validate, and this list may change at any time.
