Regenerate SSL cert after URL change

I just changed my ghost URL and am now trying to generate a new SSL cert. I tried ghost setup ssl but got this message:

Nginx config file does not exist, skipping SSL setup
ℹ Setting up SSL [skipped]

After my adventures in changing the URL, I’m scared to try anything. Any advice would be appreciated (for example, which config file is it referring to?).

Ghost-CLI version: 1.24.0
Ghost version: 5.47.2

EDIT: related: Update SSL certificate for a changed domain

I think I’ve managed to work around this by

  1. installing Certbot (also had to install
    apt install python3-certbot-nginx)
  2. generating a certificate with sudo certbot certonly --nginx -d <new_domain>
  3. editing both /etc/nginx/sites-available/AAA.conf and /etc/nginx/sites-available/AAA-ssl.conf to use the new server_name, and editing /etc/nginx/sites-available/AAA-ssl.conf to point to my new certificate and key (which were in /etc/letsencrypt/live/, under different names). (I also renamed these files and recreated the symlinks in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled, though I probably could’ve skipped this.)
  4. restart nginx

whew.
