I have a single site running a single web server using Nginx. I want to use https for my site, using Let’s Encrypt. I went through the How to “How to Set Up Let’s Encrypt Certificates” found here. (https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/load-balancers/how-to/lets-encrypt/). My question is do I need a Load Balancer? Is there a How to on setting up Nginx (on FreeBSD) to be https?
I don’t believe you would need a load balancer based on the environment you have described. There is a tutorial by Mark Drake that is probably better suited to what you are trying to achieve, the link can be found below.
Happy encrypting.

Yes. Thank you very much. However, when I click on the link provide I get a page not found. This is where I found the tutorial you referred to.
