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. https://crt.sh/?q=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:
cgo.tennis

I ran this command:

certbot certonly --webroot -d cgo.tennis -d www.cgo.tennis --email info@cgo.tennis -w /var/www/_letsencrypt -n --agree-tos --force-renewal

It produced this output:
Hook 'post-hook' ran with error output:

Please show the entire output of Certbot or the entire log.

Also:

Why are you using this option? Please don't use it if you know what it actually does. Usually it only leads to hitting rate limits, which could get you into more problems than you're already in.
