[CollEc] Reboot

[Düben, Christian]

Sorry, I had not checked which of the available sites are enabled.

I am running another website and compared its configuration to CollEc's configuration. Nginx and Certbot were set up identically. Apart from the domain name, the file in sites-enabled and nginx.conf were identical - line for line. The error source is somewhere outside of it.

So, I reinstalled Certbot, but that turned out breaking it even more. I do not know what else to do. Since there are multiple websites deployed on Helos, I am not reinstalling Nginx.

I have to say that I am somewhat fed up with deploying CollEc on Helos. I containerized all but two of CollEc's components: Nginx and Certbot. And Certbot keeps breaking all the time. It either gets uninstalled completely or just stops working. I have been running the same setup for a different website on another server for more than 1.5 years and have not had a single issue with Nginx or Certbot on that machine.

Is there another server that I could deploy CollEc on? I am tired of repeatedly being confronted with expired certificates.

  I removed it. 

root at helos ~ # rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/*~

  But that file was in /etc/nginx/sites-available, and not linked
  from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled, thus exceedingly unlikely to used
  by nginx.
