Error in renew certificate with command certbot renew --dry-run -v

My domain is: jerometechsolutions.com

I ran this command: certbot renew --dry-run -v

It produced this output:
Certificate not due for renewal, but simulating renewal for dry run
Failed to renew certificate jerometechsolutions.com with error: The manual plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: PluginError('An authentication script must be provided with --manual-auth-hook when using the manual plugin non-interactively.')


All simulated renewals failed. The following certificates could not be renewed:
