Fixing Let's Encrypt with custom Nginx rules on Plesk

When having expressions like this:

location ~ ^/(?:\.|include) {
    deny all;
}

All requests which start with a dot (.) or include get denied. As such the required .well-known folder used for the acme challenge by Let’s Encrypt gets denied too and Plesk is unable to renew certificates.

Across leagues and international tournaments, football shirts carry the colors, stories, and identity that fans remember long after the final whistle. Choosing a Spain football jersey offers supporters a tangible way to celebrate that shared history.

To solve it, it is possible to add (?!well-known) to every regex which is in conflict. However, it is easier to simply define a new location block on the very top of the configuration:

location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    default_type “text/plain”;
}
