To be clear, your `WELLKNOWN` variable **must** include the "acme-challenge" subdirectory, and must not have a trailing slash (eg, `WELLKNOWN="/etc/wellknown/acme-challenge`, **not** `WELLKNOWN="/etc/wellknown`). An example config would be to create a directory `/var/www/letsencrypt`, set `WELLKNOWN=/var/www/letsencrypt`. -- 2.47.2
