I also get the same error just now... cannot create letsencrypt cert from laravel forge... hopes get somebody to help...
LetsEncrypt SSL failing at Walking Chain
Hey there,
maybe someone here has had a smilar problem in the past. I set up a DigitalOcean droplet via Laravel Forge and deployed a simple NodeJS app. It's running smoothly as long as it's accessed via http.
When trying to set up LetsEncrypt I do however consistently get the same error. I added the output below (I removed the certificate id and domains, just in case).
Any pointers?
Thanks!

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

ERROR: Walking chain has failed, your certificate has been created and can be found at /root/letsencrypt1---419/certs/w---.de/cert-1---426.pem, the corresponding private key at privkey-1---426.pem. If you want you can manually continue on creating and linking all necessary files. If this error occurs again you should manually generate the certificate chain and place it under /root/letsencrypt1---419/chains/4f06f81d.chain (see http://cert.int-x3.letsencrypt.org/)
