I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this question… but within the last 3 months I:
Took a snapshot and moved my server.
Then I deleted the old one.
I made a floating IP and assigned it to my new server.
My letsencrypt and nginx-sp were working for months before that until now. I can’t figure out what I’ve done wrong, but it seems that letsencrypt can’t connect to the /.well-known/acme-challenge/ stuff. I get a “Timeout” for every one.
I disabled ufw because I thought that might be doing it, but it did not help. What can I show (logs?) to know what’s happening?

I’m a dummy. In my DNS I have IPv6 still and there is no floating IPv6 with digitalocean yet. I removed those in DNS and I’m all good again!
