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: xpcreations.net
I ran this command:
certbot certonly --test-cert --dns-rfc2136 --dns-rfc2136-credentials ~/.config/certbot/secrets.ini -d xpcreations.net -d '*.xpcreations.net'
It produced this output:
