   I might know how to work it if the docs were more clear about what needs to   
   be done.  I suspect that fullchain.pem and privkey.pem need to be cat/tee'd   
   together, in that order, to make it work.   
      
   Back to the letsyncrypt bug... after reading up on how Let's Encrypt works, I   
   can figure out the following:   
      
   (1) at some point, letsyncrypt hit an error that it either reported or   
   didn't know what to do with;   
   (2) after that, it kept reporting '0' even though it was *not* working   
   (BUG!);   
   (3) by the time the cert expired, evidence of whatever problem letsyncypt had   
   (assuming it reported it to begin with) was long gone;   
   (4) the other two or three options on the wiki were getting errors because   
   they likely require a valid cert to already be in place on the web server   
   end. Since letsyncypt had stopped working a while back, there wasn't one.   
      
   While researching Let's Encrypt, I found a lot of good resources regarding   
   using their certs with haproxy.  As I am already using haproxy for something   
   else so I put those good resources to use.  I was able to install the cert into   
   haproxy, set up new front and back ends for web traffic, and had a working   
   website again in < 30 minutes.   
      
   I started seeing some SMTPS errors so I put the self-signed cert back into   
   place in /ctrl and that seemed to fix those.
