Installing Letsencrypt on Ubuntu 14.04 and nginx

Here at the Clearleft towers we use DigitalOcean and our servers run Ubuntu 14.04 and Nginx 1.8.0.

At the moment, Letsencrypt has an auto installer for Apache only. I actually have no idea what that does, as the other option is to create the certificate files and link to them in your site’s conf file manually, which is all I’ve ever done anyway. I don’t think I’d want anything doing that step for me. But, I digress.
