Hi @damianlewis

you use the webroot authenticator:

If that doesn't work, your webroot may be wrong.

What's the content of your config file:

/etc/letsencrypt/renewal

What says

nginx -T

Your main configuration looks ok ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=laurdan.co.uk ):

But you have a redirect http -> https. So you have to use the https - webroot.
