I have multiple domains running on the same VM and have added server blocks for each of the domain in /sites-available/default file. Nginx server and SSL certificates are allotted separately each one of them and I have placed the cron job for auto renewal of the certificates as I have placed all the domains in webroot.ini file .
Please guide is this a right approach of ssl renewal ?
Looking for the help. Thanks
Usually all you need to do is:
certbox --nginx -d domain-1.org -d www.domain-1.org
certbox --nginx -d domain-2.net -d www.domain-2.net
etc … and Certbot will automatically handle the renewal and installation of your certificates.
Your approach could be correct as well. To verify everything is working as required, you can use:
certbot renew --dry-run
If that reports OK (and fake-renews all your domains), then you’re all set.

What is a webroot.ini file? What does it contain? Where’s it located?

This is letsencrypt configuration file which requests SSL certificates without user interaction and its location is /usr/local/etc/le-renew-webroot.ini.
It contains the list of domains of which SSL you intended to get renewed.
What Let’s Encrypt client are you using?
I have been using Certbot.
How did you make this webroot.ini file and what are its contents?
@schoen This is a executable shell script which checks the renewal of certificates.
