Thanks for posting this. It got me on the right track.

It looks like you have a typo in first_run.sh: certbot certonly --config $FIRST_RUN_DIR && first_run.ini should be certbot certonly --config "$FIRST_RUN_DIR"/first_run.ini.

Also, it looks like you can simply pass the full path of the certs now:

/usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/confdba -mk cs.ca_bundle -v "$CERT_DIR"/fullchain.pem > /dev/null
/usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/confdba -mk cs.priv_key -v "$CERT_DIR"/privkey.pem > /dev/null
/usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/confdba -mk cs.cert -v "$CERT_DIR"/cert.pem > /dev/null

Then you have to run systemctl restart openvpnas.service.
