* Setup your SSL cert, using your method of choice or certbot. If using certbot, first install it:

If that doesnt work, make sure, that nginx is not already running. If it still doesnt work, try setting up nginx first (change ssl “on” to “off” and try again).

If you need to renew the certificate in the future, uncomment the relevant location block in the nginx config and run:
* Setup your SSL cert, using your method of choice or certbot. If using certbot, first install it:
```shell
sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
```
and then set it up:
```shell
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/letsencrypt/
sudo certbot --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> -d <media_domain> --nginx
```
If that doesn't work the first time, add `--dry-run` to further attempts to avoid being ratelimited as you identify the issue, and do not remove it until the dry run succeeds. A common source of problems are nginx config syntax errors; this can be checked for by running `nginx -t`.
Certificate renewal should be handled automatically by Certbot from now on.
