Summary
certbot correctly renews SSL x509 certificates, but nginx needs to restart before they are recognized (no hotswapping and whatnot). This is an issue because you have to restart nginx manually each time the certificate gets renewed.
The issue I see right now is that the certbot Docker container cannot directly communicate with the nginx container easily.
This may require some amount of research.
