As I was trying to add a SSL certificate by running sudo certbot --nginx. It failed to connect to the website. I was using a domain I got from a digital ocean app. I have created an A and AAAA record.
Here’s the image of the A/AAAA. PNG IMAGE
Here’s the error I receive while creating the certificate.
