    Urgh, in over my head here.

    I've managed to install Discourse on my DigitalOCean droplet and have sorted the dns and mailserver information and have the software up and running.

    I need to get lets encrypt installed and sorted for the domain but I'm out of my depth here.

    Looking for someone who can help sort this out for me please and earn a few quid?

    Cheers

    Just sent you a DM with contact details for Etienne who works with me. He manages our DigitalOcean droplets so can hopefully help.

    Just as a pointer because I did this myself:
    Install Certbot to get and update the certificates. It has very clear instructions, depends on Linux version and whether choice.
    Slightly harder is finding and editing the Discourse yml file and editing to Https for the site location.
    Then reboot
