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. crt.sh | 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:
- bazioware.ddns.net (apache server for nextcloud, drupal etc),
- lege.ddns.net (prosody xmpp server)
- sendme.ddns.net (serve files for xmpp)
I ran this command: letsencrypt renew
It produced this output:
Same for all 3 domains (here for the first one)

More info
Certificates renewal works fine for the last 4-5 years using cron job. It happened only 2 or 3 times to manually renew them using command line.
Last month I get the above message for all three of them.
Is this a problem as described here:
"Unexpected renewal failures since April 2024? Please read this!"
or has to do with my server?
Is it a python3 problem (version 3.9.19) in combination with certbot?
I didn't change anything to any config file.
I get Domain Names from no-ip.com and I can't use the solution of "TXT records" for DNS-01 Challenge (free package).
Stop services, stop firewall, reboot, didn't help. Nothing special with "overloading server".
This is not a professional server, it's just my hobby.
Thanks in advance!
