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: www.dynamicfit.app
I ran this command: sudo certbot
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator nginx, Installer nginx

Cert not yet due for renewal
You have an existing certificate that has exactly the same domains or certificate name you requested and isn’t close to expiry.
(ref: /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/www.dynamicfit.app.conf)
What would you like to do?
1: Attempt to reinstall this existing certificate
2: Renew & replace the cert (limit ~5 per 7 days)
Select the appropriate number [1-2] then [enter] (press ‘c’ to cancel): 1

My web server is (include version): nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 18.04
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): No
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): 0.31.0-1+ubuntu18.04.1+certbot+1
I have a shiny app that I added an SSL to. HTTP was successfully redirecting to HTTPS, and the website loaded correctly. However, I couldn’t get both www.dynamicfit.app and dynamicfit.app to work at the same time, and I couldn’t get a redirect to work. So, I tried activating a wildcard SSL for the domain, and that’s where everything went wrong.
