I can confirm this does work. I use Letsencrypt.
I used;
cat /letsencrypt_dir/privkey.pem /letsencrypt_dir/fullchain.pem >pem_for_lighttpd.pem
and then followed all the same steps from the guide.
The only problem with this, in using Letsencrypt, is it renews certificate every 90 days - automatically, so I guess you have to manually re-Concatenate the files together every 90 days or so, and restart lighttpd. I'm sure there would be a way to automate this - but I don't know how.
