The nginx plugin is not working

Inspecting the logs, I reconstruct as follows:

  • I first worked with the official tutorial involving Apache
  • to this end I had to fire up httpd standalone
  • this would not work because my proxy runs on port 80
  • so I had to shut down my proxy
  • I obtained a certificate

Now this cannot work in production, so I looked for a docker solution and found Nginx and Let’s Encrypt with Docker in Less Than 5 Minutes, i.e. wmnnd. This is the boilerplate for my proxy.

Just calling certbot renew should use the webroot plugin automatically (as it remembers what was initially used), unless you changed it at some point.

This explains why it remembers Apache. How can I change the initial setting?
