As I mentioned to you when this goodness happened, a significant amount
of the credit goes to the Debian packages' integration scripts for Let's
Encrypt.  And, as I found out when I set up Jitsi Meet on Amazon EC2 for
the 2020 Worldcon, it's equally automagical if you use nginx instead of
Apache HTTPd.
