    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
    entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
    contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that
    your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no
    firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the
    client. If you’re using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
    that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.

  • Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
    configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
    secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
    also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
    making regular backups of this folder is ideal.

this is right, there is no A record for streamingworld.us

add an A record for that domain

like: @ 300 in A 10.10.10.10

this is the same error

This I cannot reproduce, check your firewall. And make sure Apache your webserver is running during validation.

You probably mean "webserver" in general here, as the topicstarter doesn't run Apache it seems :wink:

I am fairly new to using DNS. My Domain is with Go Daddy. My website is hosted by Linode.
I guess I am confused as to where I create this A record?
That said, my Domain Manager (Go Daddy) is pointing to my Linode Nameservers.
My Linode has an A record for streamingworld.us and just streamingworld.

dig streamingworld.us resuts in still no IP? Here is my web host A records.

You need to add an A record for “@” to the ip of the webserver.

this should go away in an hour (and the original error will come back).

use certbot renew --dry-run in the meantime.

By the way, I’ve removed the screaming “HELP” from your thread title: the capitals are rude and everybody in the ‘Help’ section is asking for help which therefore makes it superfluous.

I’ve also added a few words b/c otherwise the Discourse would complain about too few letters…

So here basically is my issue:

Your IPv6 isn’t working. Let’s Encrypt prefers IPv6 when an AAAA record is present. It doesn’t do IPv4 fallback, probably due to security reasons (Let’s Encrypt doesn’t know the reason why IPv6 doesn’t work, could be a MitM trying to limit connectivity to make his attack vector better for example).

My webserver is nodejs running on a LXD container.
It is accessed via a subdomain bcast I showed in my previous comment.
