I installed BBB with the install script and created an SSL certificate for my XXXXX.mysite.com
Now, SSL has ended.

How can I reinstall SSL for 3thrd third-party domain XXXXX.mysite.com?
With Certbot, can I create a new certificate or renew an existing one?

Hi,

it seems you migh have missed the doc page where certificates generation is described. Even though it's for coturn, you can still use these steps to get a certificate.
If you have 3rd party certs (e.g. from another certificate provider), you can put them in /local/certs and run the BBB install script. They shold be detected and used automatically.
For more options in the install script see here.

Regards,
J.

Yes, you might have renewed the certificate, but did you place it in the right place for nginx to recognize it?
You have to copy the certificate to where the old certificate ist (hint: see nginx/sites-available) and restart nginx.
