Failed authorization procedure

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: nicksopeneatsdns.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com

I ran this command:sudo certbot --nginx

It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator nginx, Installer nginx

Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for?

Are you using their docker image?
If you are using Nginx, you might need to use webroot and test it first. (As the error message asks viewer to enable JS, which means the application is still handling that site)
