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: 1341site.xyz
I ran this command: /var/log/letsencrypt $ certbot --nginx
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
The following error was encountered:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/letsencrypt/.certbot.lock'
Either run as root, or set --config-dir, --work-dir, and --logs-dir to writeable paths.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

The nginx plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: NoInstallationError("Could not find a usable 'nginx' binary. Ensure nginx exists, the binary is executable, and your PATH is set correctly.")
I am still a newbie to linux ...
thx for your help again.

In order to expedite a "working solution", let's try avoiding the use of --nginx.
Let's try our focus on --webroot.
To that end, show the full nginx config, with: nginx -T
And, also, provide the name of the domain you want to obtain a cert for.
$ sudo /snap/bin/certbot --webroot

With the webroot plugin, you probably want to use the "certonly" command, eg:
certbot certonly --webroot
(Alternatively, add a --installer flag. See User Guide — Certbot 2.6.0 documentation
and "--help plugins" for more information.)
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.
for Nginx config, see below (nginx command not found)
$ nginx -T
-bash: nginx: command not found
I used the docker to build the app webpage .. I am not sure if it makes a difference.
