Challenge Faild

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: CubeGaming.eu

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly -d status.cubegaming.eu

It produced this output:

root@v220210423520150968:/home# certbot certonly -d status.cubegaming.eu

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - The following errors were reported by the server:

   Domain: status.cubegaming.eu
   Type:   unauthorized
   Detail: Invalid response from
   http://status.cubegaming.eu/.well-known/acme-challenge/dPMU8HuEdUAeqj4PiSXT4VPDd0Bn4Gx8PPg9_yI8RZM
   [54.147.176.222]: 404

   To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
   entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
   contain(s) the right IP address.

My web server is (include version): nginx (latest stable)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 20.04

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Hetzner

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): certbot 0.40.0

Im pretty confused why the challenge failed, since I also got the domains mysql.cubegaming.eu and panel.cubegaming.eu and there I did the same as for this one and it worked. only now with status.cubegaming.eu it doesn't work.

You have multiple IP addresses, so I'm guessing you have multiple servers:

status.cubegaming.eu.   0       IN      CNAME   cubegaming-879.freshstatus.io.
cubegaming-879.freshstatus.io. 0 IN     A       35.173.104.221
cubegaming-879.freshstatus.io. 0 IN     A       54.147.176.222

Only one of your servers will be responding to the http challenge (via nginx), so you may find it better to use DNS validation instead.

Also, unless you reverse proxy from your server back to cubegaming-879.freshstatus.io you can't present a certificate for that domain (because the responding server needs to do that job), unless you can tell freshstatus which certificate to use or they just get the certificate for you.
