Description
I would like to point out that when following the guide below, freeradius cannot read the private key because it does not have the correct permissions.
The task only creates the archive folder without copying the certificates.

Perhaps something like this could work:
rsync -rtlv --chown=freerad:freerad --chmod=D750,F640 /etc/letsencrypt/live/nnxx.ninux.org /etc/freeradius/3.0/SSL
To run when certificates are renewed

Research direction
Start with the Ansible deployment task linked from the WPA-EAP-TTLS-PAP guide and trace how the certificate archive is created and handled during renewal. Verify the deployment copies the certificates with permissions that let FreeRADIUS read the private key, then confirm the service starts successfully after renewal.
