There's a problem with the latest version of jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion so I used the one that I assumed you would have used 4 months ago based on your commit (v1.4) to get your examples working. They worked!

All I had to do was change the image to:

jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion:v1.4

Hi,

Same problem, sample doesn't work with latest jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion image, when I try access VIRTUAL_HOST / LETSENCRYPT_HOST domain is showing me default http (not https) nginx page instead of main page of sample site:

No error on nginx logs, just 200/304 HTTP code.
When I'm trying to access site with https I got ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error and even no one string in log about it!

However problem also wasn't solved by changing image to jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion:v1.4

It (eventually) worked for me on a new server using the latest images. It took more than 5 minutes (in addition to the initial DH generation) to generate the certificates.

Part of that delay was about 2 minutes for each service to get to an error like

Unable to reach http://sample.mydomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/NCpWTlcsHysVza9GzclhOUp8zEN_jR0F7XIX_KlHlYE

even though I was actually able to manually load that URL during that time. Others are seeing the same issue: nginx-proxy/acme-companion#209

After these errors though the certificates got created anyway.

I suspect that something wrong with nginx.tmpl. But no idea how to debug, asked on stack, but no one reply for now.

I found in logs such string:
