    Yeah if you copy them from /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/yourdomain.com directory along with nginx vhost files (/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/yourdomain.com.conf and /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/yourdomain.com.ssl.conf), they will work. One thing is with letsencrypt they need auto renewal as they have 90 day expiry, so you need to setup addons/acmetool.sh via acmeinstall command on new server
    Code (Text):
    ./acmetool.sh acmeinstall

    and then copy over the /root/.acme.sh/yourdomain.com directory too which contains the details acme.sh client needs for auto renew cronjobs.

    What about the well known hidden folder ?

    Is it at the domains public folder and should i copy that also?

    Thank you

    that shouldn't exist it's created on demand during acmetool.sh's call to acme.sh client during domain validation so nothing to copy over
