Can not init api (error code 23)

Help

I am trying to set up nextcloud with this and failing when creating the certificates.

My domain is:

cloud.bauerp.online

I ran this command:

acme.sh --issue -d cloud.bauerp.online --server letsencrypt --keylength 4096 -w /var/www/letsencrypt --key-file /etc/letsencrypt/cloud.bauerp.online/rsa/key.pem --ca-file /etc/letsencrypt/cloud.bauerp.online/rsa/ca.pem --cert-file /etc/letsencrypt/cloud.bauerp.online/rsa/cert.pem --fullchain-file /etc/letsencrypt/cloud.bauerp.online/rsa/fullchain.pem --reloadcmd "sudo /bin/systemctl reload nginx.service"

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):
nginx/1.23.2

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Ubuntu 22.04

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

account.conf
#LOG_FILE="/home/letsencrypt/.acme.sh/acme.sh.log"
#LOG_LEVEL=1

#AUTO_UPGRADE="1"

#NO_TIMESTAMP=1

UPGRADE_HASH=''
DEFAULT_ACME_SERVER='https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory'

...and when you do that, you find this:

CURLE_WRITE_ERROR (23)

An error occurred when writing received data to a local file, or an error was returned to libcurl from a write callback.

So, for some reason, it's not able to write to its home directory. Perhaps a permissions issue, or maybe the disk is full.
