Could not automatically find a matching server block for... Set the `server_name` directive to use the Nginx installer

Help
1

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:odoo.oyake.co.ke

I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx

It produced this output:

Could not automatically find a matching server block for odoo.oyake.co.ke. Set the `server_name` directive to use the Nginx installer.

My web server is (include version): nginx/1.22.0

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Debian 11

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): no

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):certbot 1.12.0

/etc/nginx/sites-available$ nano odoo.conf displays

Virtual Host configuration for example.com

Hi @vombaka, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

You need a working HTTP site before you can secure it using HTTP-01 authentication.

You file ("odoo.conf") is filled with "#"
None of those lines are active.

should I edit it manually to create the server block?

I have no idea what they are doing nor what you want them to do.
I can't advise you properly without knowing much more.
[which I really don't care to know nor do - as this is not an nginx "how to build a site" forum].

Once you have a properly working HTTP site, you can then use "sudo certbot --nginx".

I don't know what you are trying to do either but the one server block that is active is missing a server_name

Are you supposed to have something like this in the active server block?

server_name odoo.oyake.co.ke;
