- Docker compose installation supports automatic renew for letsencrypt cert by initial cert has to be acquired manually. It's possible to do it with the following command.
docker compose run --rm certbot certonly --webroot --webroot-path /var/www/certbot/ -d example.org

As Letsencrypt makes acknowledge via http for initial run you need to adjust nginx config to serve probe without SSl certs.
