[DAGBEMAMBOU]

Hello everyone.
Please find below what I am requesting your help for:

My domain is: epistat.bj

I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx -d epistat.bj

It produced this output: pls, see attachment

My web server is (include version): nginx

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: DigitalOcean

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): I don't know

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): certbot 2.9.0

Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
DAGBEMAMBOU

That error message is pretty clear, isn't it? Let's Encrypt needs to connect to your server to validate your control over the domain, and to do that, you need to have published DNS records. You don't. You'll need to create them appropriately.
