Command failed: certbot certonly on omv5 with duckdns

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:nextcgdb.duckdns.org

I ran this command: ran this from Gui interface to set up ssl Cert

It produced this output: error in full - Error: Command failed: certbot certonly --config "/etc/letsencrypt.ini" --cert-name "npm-3" --agree-tos --authenticator webroot --email "graham.bell19@gmail.com" --preferred-challenges "dns,http" --domains "nextcgdb.duckdns.org"

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):omv5

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using
Certbot):

Maybe you could find it if you replace the "i" with a "y" (letsencrypt).
OR
Let's try to find the LE log file, with:
find / -name letsencrypt.log

This is good:

The log file doesn't include anything "useful".
[maybe removing the "--quiet / -q" would show more]

What shows?:

Hi

When I typed in certbot certificates nothing was found

root@TENBY6SERVER:~# -bash: certbot: command not found

-bash: -bash:: command not found

I have tried to find certbot but drawn a blank, but as mentioned I am a novice with Linux and find he file structure a bit confusing much more familiar with a windows environment.

Have done some research if I understand this correctly, certbot needs to be re installed if running Debian 10 – is this correct ?

see https://blog.wturrell.co.uk/letsencrypt-using-cerbot-with-snap-on-debian-10/

I am trying to install nextcloud on my OMV server using portainer stack. I have the following running,

Nginx-proxy-manager Nextcloud mariabd duckdns

when I try to configure Nginx by adding a SSL certificate I get the error

Hi Rudy

Not sure what you are requesting however I have done the following Using Win SCP to find the following

Hi Rudy

Attached file for the entries below, something not right?

I feel you are not telling me the complete command surely this should be preceded with something. No such file or directory when entered exactly as you have shown,.

So tired tried preceding with find and got better results - you need to be clear what I need to enter - rubbish in = rubbish out !!!!

Still not sure this is what you are after.
