====== Lets Encrypt with an nginx reverse proxy ======

Modify your server clause to allow the subdirectory .well-known to be served from a local directory, eg:

<code nginx>
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name sub.domain.com www.sub.domain.com;
    […]
    location /.well-known {
            alias /var/www/sub.domain.com/.well-known;
    }

    location / {
        # proxy commands go here
        […]
    }
}
</code>
