1. Yes my a record points directly to my servers public ip
2. You have misunderstood me, or rather I didn’t make myself very clear. There is no other webserver running at the moment. I backed everything up from apache and uninstalled nginx and apache completely. There is no webservice running at the moment, except of course the sshd service, which I need to do anything on the server at all. Also I tried that. I tried adding my certificates to a nginx config I placed under `sites-available`, but without success. I also tried to follow the tutorial under [Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247), but to no success! It always fails at the copy step. I thought it would be some issue with the docker image, or something but I cloned the latest master branch!
