Nginx + Let's Encrypt on Laravel Forge

Redirects everything to a new domain, but allows Let's Encrypt to issue and renew certificates.

Using the inbuilt redirect in Laravel Forge appears to prevent Let's Encrypt from verifying the domain.

Example - redirect everything to example.org - edit Nginx config as below:

location / {

# Install
sudo apt-get install php-imagick

# Check again
# Should return 'imagick'
php -m | grep imagick
