I have an internal server which has a public address that I can ping from outside. I do not get a ping response but I expect ping is turned off. But the hostname resolves to the outside address.
when i run on the linus nginx server sudo certbot --nginx
It does show me the domain, I select the number and after a while i get an failed message.
Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure the listed domains point to this nginx server and that its accessible from the internet.
im abit confused about domain name and host name.
