Using Lets-Encrypt SSL cert with Jetty

Has anyone been successful with using Letsencrypt SSL with a default jetty install? I can't seem to get it right.

More info:

OS: Ubuntu 16.04
Jetty Path: /opt/jetty

Only thing adjusted is enabling http on port 80 in start.ini.

Problems I have run into:

When I input --module-ssl into the start ini, I get the error

No default protocol for ServerConnector@48aca48b{null,[]}{0.0.0.0:8443}`

starting jetty and it fails.

I have tried inputting the SSL info into the ini, as well as editing the .xml files with the info.

I know this is an older question, but in-case people stumble across it on Google with a similar issue:

The SSL module in Jetty is just the base cryptographic functionality. You need to do something with it - i.e. also enable the https or http2 modules.

In other words, for standard https you actually need:

java -jar start.jar --add-to-startd=ssl,https

So it's not the best of error messages, but:

No default protocol for ServerConnector

Means just that - it didn't previously have a protocol (implementation) to use the ssl module with, because the https (or http2) modules hadn't been loaded.
