got this working by following the instructions at these two links.
first I update certbot:
https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntuxenial-nginx
then I run the command in this post to disable the old domain validation method:
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/how-to-stop-using-tls-sni-01-with-certbot/83210
here are the exact commands from those two posts that I ran on our blockbuilder-frontend
server:
# update certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-nginx
# check the certbot version
certbot --version || /path/to/certbot-auto --version
# $ certbot 0.28.0
# do the fix
sudo sh -c "sed -i.bak -e 's/^\(pref_challs.*\)tls-sni-01\(.*\)/\1http-01\2/g' /etc
/letsencrypt/renewal/*; rm -f /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/*.bak"
# test certbot to see if the fix worked
sudo certbot renew --dry-run
et voila, it works!
ubuntu@blockbuilder-frontend:~$ sudo certbot renew --dry-run

Congratulations, all renewals succeeded. The following certs have been renewed:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/blockbuilder.org/fullchain.pem (success)
** DRY RUN: simulating 'certbot renew' close to cert expiry

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- 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.
Hello,
Action may be required to prevent your Let's Encrypt certificate renewals from breaking.
If you already received a similar e-mail, this one contains updated information.
Your Let's Encrypt client used ACME TLS-SNI-01 domain validation to issue a certificate in the past 60 days. Below is a list of names and IP addresses validated (max of one per account):
blockbuilder.org (35.239.22.31) on 2018-12-03
TLS-SNI-01 validation is reaching end-of-life. It will stop working temporarily on February 13th, 2019, and permanently on March 13th, 2019. Any certificates issued before then will continue to work for 90 days after their issuance date.
You need to update your ACME client to use an alternative validation method (HTTP-01, DNS-01 or TLS-ALPN-01) before this date or your certificate renewals will break and existing certificates will start to expire.
Our staging environment already has TLS-SNI-01 disabled, so if you'd like to test whether your system will work after February 13, you can run against staging: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/
If you're a Certbot user, you can find more information here: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/how-to-stop-using-tls-sni-01-with-certbot/83210
Our forum has many threads on this topic. Please search to see if your question has been answered, then open a new thread if it has not: https://community.letsencrypt.org/
For more information about the TLS-SNI-01 end-of-life please see our API announcement: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/february-13-2019-end-of-life-for-all-tls-sni-01-validation-support/74209
Thank you, Let's Encrypt Staff
