CAA record prevents issuance

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:odisseo.io

I ran this command:sudo /jet/etc/letsencrypt/certbot-auto renew --config-dir /jet/etc/letsencrypt

It produced this output:
Processing /jet/etc/letsencrypt/renewal/odisseo.io.conf

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The following errors were reported by the server:

    Domain: odisseo.io
    Type: None
    Detail: CAA record for odisseo.io prevents issuance

My web server is (include version): debian lemp

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: google cloud compute engine

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The CAA record on my DNS SET UP prevents issuance , how I have to change it ?

I’m not sure how it happened, but the CAA record has extra quotation marks:

odisseo.io.             7200    IN      CAA     0 issue "'letsencrypt.org'"

The double quotes are normal, but the single quotes shouldn’t be there. Let’s Encrypt is probably rejecting it due to their presence.
