My web server is (include version): nginx version: nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 18.04.02 Server Edition

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

Looking forward to your kind help.

Resolved. Now the only question left is: how to automatically renew the certificates with acme.sh?

by default acme.sh creates a cron job to do that:

[Sat 10 Aug 13:18:50 CEST 2019] Installing cron job
23 0 * * * "/root/.acme.sh"/acme.sh --cron --home "/root/.acme.sh" > /dev/null

Thank you. I modified the crontab as follows:

0 */12 * * * “/root/.acme.sh”/acme.sh --cron --home “/root/.acme.sh” > /dev/null

it not recommended to run that crontab at xx:00, as this could result in high serverload, if many users do so. That why the first number is typically a random one.
