Added to get CORS working

 add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
 add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'POST,GET,OPTIONS';
 if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
   add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' '1728000';
   add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';
   add_header 'Content-Length' '0';

   add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
   add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'POST,GET,OPTIONS';

End CORS

This Command that I run:
sudo /opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto certonly -a webroot --webroot-path=/usr/share/nginx/html -d test1.abc.com
certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/abc-123456/ -d test1.abc.com

Anyone can help me!

Try this location rule for Nginx, this is what I use and have no problems.

# ACME Challenge Rule
location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
	allow all;
    default_type "text/plain";
}

and then I generate my certs as follows, I have included the –dry-run flag for you, always use --dry-run when you are learning your way around LE, then you can see what response the issuing server is giving you without actually generating a cert yet, when it gives you a favorable response, you simply remove the –dry-run flag

sudo ./certbot-auto certonly --agree-tos --rsa-key-size 4096 -m dnsadmin@abc.com -d test1.abc.com --renew-by-default --dry-run

Then you manually add the cert into your test1.abc.com host config in Nginx as follows

    # Include our certificates and chain of trust
	ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/test1.abc.com/fullchain.pem;
	ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/test1.abc.com/privkey.pem;
	## verify chain of trust of OCSP response using Root CA and Intermediate certs
	ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/test1.abc.com/chain.pem;
