I ran this command: sudo /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto certonly --standalone
It produced this output: No valid IP addresses found for stockbettor.com or alternatively ip address in not valid website
My web server is (include version): node v 14
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): linux redhat oracle cloud free tier
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Oracle Cloud
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): yes
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): 1.3.0
I am using google domains for my domain name and I cannot get certbot to recognize the domain
I think i might see the problem... in google domains If i have an A record for the ip address then a redirect will not be required? Right now i have both?
ok thanks... a bit of chicken and egg for me... i cant run my node server in google cloud at port 80 ... but i have a lead which is better than i had before ... thanks
For those who are on google domains... you must have an a record (using only the @ sign) and you cannot redirect to your ip address it must be a dns record (there are two sections on google one for redirection the other for dns records)
