Challenge TLS-ALPN-01 and NAMESERVER: Is changing the nameserver mandatory?

Help
#1

I have undertaken a TLS-ALPN-01 challenge with Traefik and Docker Compose and I get this error:

"Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.192.192.192. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message"

I have a Google VPS and the domain name on Freenom.

Do I need to set up a specific nameserver? If I have to, what should I write in "Nameserver 1", "Nameserver 2", ... ," Nameserver 5"?

The proxy provides the valid certificate to the following address:

https://www.traefik.domain-name.ga

but not to the following:

https://www.domain-name.ga

This is my setup on Freenom:

Nome - Tipo - TTL - Target
'' - 'A' - '3600' - '222.222.222.222'
'WWW' - 'A' - '3600' - '222.222.222.222'
'TRAEFIK' - 'A' - '3600 ' - '222.222.222.222'
'WWW.TRAEFIK' - 'A' - '3600' - '222.222.222.222'

At the moment I am using the default nameservers set by Freenom.

Thanks

That's not an error, but just a warning from Apache.

So do you think the problem I am experiencing is due to a wrong configuration of Traefik and not to a wrong configuration of the Freenom DNS?

I have no idea what your problem actually is? I'm assuming you're getting your certificates using Traefik? Personally I don't have experience with Traefik, so I can't help you with that, but perhaps Traefik also has log files which you could search for an actual error message related to the certificate issuance?

Sure! It is traefik.log.

Not likely to be the cure, but it may be worth the effort:
