Welcome to the Let's Encrypt Community :slightly_smiling_face:

What is the output of this command?

Hi :slight_smile:

It's:

root@knocklive:~# sudo certbot certonly --apache -d "knocklive.de,www.knocklive.de" --dry-run

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - The dry run was successful.
 - Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
   configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
   secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
   also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
   making regular backups of this folder is ideal.
