    Hmm, I set that up what I thought was correctly, but when restarting the server I get:

    3/29 05:40:20 web Web Server listening on socket 0.0.0.0 port 80
    Waiting for Web thread
    3/29 05:40:20 evnt SYNCRYPT Web root for TOSAgreed is not a directory (true) 3/29 05:40:20 srvc No TLS certificiate ERROR 'Cannot open object' (-40) opening keyset

    Now the SSL URL doesnt work at all, not even using the self-signed cert. What do I need to set up additionally?

    Nevermind - I forgot to set owner to bbsowner before starting the sbbs up after manually running the letsyncrypt extension. All working now :)

    Congrats! I haven't actually done it yet myself, was just pleasantly surprised
    that it had
    everything built-in!
