By default, this playbook retrieves and auto-renews free SSL certificates from [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) for the domains it needs (`matrix.<your-domain>` and possibly `element.<your-domain>`)
Those certificates are used when configuring the nginx reverse proxy installed by this playbook.
They can also be used for configuring [your own webserver](docs/configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md), in case you're not using the integrated nginx server provided by the playbook.
