Okay. So I figured out that I can change the name in the default vhost files (both for 80 and 443) to my domain name with www (www.sthlmcity.eu). I could connect to my apache install webpage from my smartphone (with its own IP) which proves that port 80 is open. I dont know how to make new vhost files for domains, Im thinking that staying in the install folder with its vhosts is a good strategy for a beginning. I think I need to learn more about vhosts.
Now certbot gives this:
