Can't renew certificates

My domain is: ch.zink.red

I ran this command: sudo /root/letsencrypt/certbot-auto renew --force-renewal

It produced this output:

sudo /root/letsencrypt/certbot-auto renew --force-renewal

   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.

Thank you for your reply.
Our firewall’s port:80 was not opened… :sweat_smile:
So now I’ve just changed the setting.

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http

Then the renew command have succeeded.
