Configuring HTTPS on debian with Nginx and Let’s Encrypt is now really easy.
Let’s install required software :
sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-nginx
Then start the configuration process :
sudo certbot --nginx
And follow the steps :
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Deployed Certificate to VirtualHost /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mydomain.tld for set(['sub.mydomain.tld'])
Please choose whether HTTPS access is required or optional.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Easy - Allow both HTTP and HTTPS access to these sites
2: Secure - Make all requests redirect to secure HTTPS access
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select the appropriate number [1-2] then [enter] (press 'c' to cancel): 2
The appropriate server block is already redirecting traffic. To enable redirect anyway, uncomment the redirect lines in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mydomain.tld.

Congratulations! You have successfully enabled https://sub.domain.tld
You should test your configuration at:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at
/etc/letsencrypt/live/sub.mydomain.tld/fullchain.pem. Your cert
will expire on 2017-12-17. To obtain a new or tweaked version of
this certificate in the future, simply run certbot again with the
"certonly" option. To non-interactively renew *all* of your
certificates, run "certbot renew"
- If you lose your account credentials, you can recover through
e-mails sent to myemail@mydomain.tld.
- Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
making regular backups of this folder is ideal.

If your want to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS, uncomment the following line from your server configuration :
#Redirect non-https traffic to https
if ($scheme != "https") {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
