I have followed this tutorial to secure nginx with lets encrypt for this domain and sub domain example.com and www.example.com (my domain instead of example)
Now I have another sub domain something.example.com, it’s pointing to my VPS and I created an ngnix server block to serve static content for it. Now how do I use python-certbot-nginx package to secure the new sub domain?

Hi ! If you have create your vhost to your subdomain, you have just to do this command :
Install Certbot :
sudo git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt /opt/letsencrypt
./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone
Certificate your subdomain :
sudo ./certbot-auto certonly --standalone -d sub.domain.com
It works fine for me. Don’t forget to restart nginx :
service nginx reload
Guys I can’t access my subdomain on http, its shows on https. Here are my nginx config.
listen 80 default_server;
Hey, I discovered that there is a handy certbot cli command (works on ubuntu 16.04) simply type:
certbot
Gives you something like that:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator nginx, Installer nginx
Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for?
