It looks like nginx was set to use a different set of certificate files than the ones Let's Encrypt was set to renew.

Tentatively, LE goes through all the .conf files in /etc/letsencrypt/renewal and renews each one.

There was only one, and it pointed at files in /etc/letsencrypt/live/tootcat2.hypertwins.net/

I've changed it to point to /etc/letsencrypt/live/toot.cat/

Nginx also looks for 2 cert files in /etc/letsencrypt/live/toot.cat/, so now at least we're matched.

When I try to renew with letsencrypt renew, I get:

root@tootcat2:/# letsencrypt renew

root@tootcat2:/# 

The key piece of information there seems to be "Missing --webroot-path for domain". What seems to be happening is that Nginx is redirecting from http to https even though the file exists.

Phase 2

It turned out there was an HSTS policy that was forcing the browser to redirect even though Nginx wasn't, I think? But opening a toot.cat URL in an anonymous window fixed that. However it still wasn't finding the test file, so I changed the webroot on both Nginx and Let'sEncrypt to /var/www/challenges, and then was able to access the test file.

...but Let's Encrypt still returns this:
