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: pronostics.courses

I ran this command: none for the moment.

It produced this output: none

My web server is (include version): Nginx

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Debian 9

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: OVH

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

That’s correct, it does.

Hi Sir

Does it means I don’t need getting latest certbot version with backports ?

Thank you very much.

Regards.

You should always aim to get the latest Certbot version, since there are other small bugs you may run into. We used to recommend installing the baseline OS distribution packages, but lately I’ve seen more and more people run into problems with outdated Certbot versions. My recommendation at this point would be to use certbot-auto, which will automatically keep itself up-to-date.
