Hello,
I have the same problem with nginx and discourse. Always getting the “welcome to nginx"-Page instead of discourse.
DNS and Mail server are setup and I’m hosting on-prem and not in the cloud.
I used this guide: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md
Fresh installation from Ubuntu:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu

lsof -i:80

I also tried Debian 9 and 10.
I will also try Ubuntu 18.04LTS and write down the result
The server has access to the Internet, but is not accessible from the Internet and the DNS ends with .lan
Soo… does letsencrypt play a role at all, because authority can’t check it from the Internet?
I installed Ubuntu 18.04LTS and I have the same problem.

Discourse will not work from an IP address, you must own a domain name such as example.com to proceed.
If you’re not using a publicly valid FQDN then the normal install route won’t work for you. Local DNS entries and domain names aren’t interchangeable here. Let’s Encrypt will fail because the DNS entry isn’t valid.
You’re going to need to modify the app.yml by hand to eliminate HTTPS and Let’s Encrypt. Comment out the unnecessary templates and the entry which exposes port 443.
Unless you plan on issuing a self-signed certificate you will be serving everything over HTTP.
I have the same problem with Fun Tec. I have my own domain and I don’t think it is the problem of letsencrypt. Here is my logs after command sudo ./launcher restart app. Can you find some useful information?
