Certbot doesn't necessarily require nginx; if not using nginx then port 443/tcp likely needs to be opened and pre/post-hooks/service restarting changed

last tested 2019/06/28 with Firefox 67.0.4; it didn't work; likely a config error on my part since this hasn't worked at all since 2018
5)
the dry run will likely fail the nginx restart step since the certs don't actually exist yet
