Help with Obtaining SSL certification for my domain

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. crt.sh | 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: lunar-o.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx -d n8n.lunar-o.com

It produced this output: Challenge failed for domain n8n.lunar-o.com
http-01 challenge for n8n.lunar-o.com

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: n8n.lunar-o.com
Type: dns
Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for n8n.lunar-o.com - check that a DNS record exists for this domain; DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up AAAA for n8n.lunar-o.com - check that a DNS record exists for this domain

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure the listed domains point to this nginx server and that it is accessible from the internet.

Cleaning up challenges
Some challenges have failed.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

My web server is (include version): Google Cloud?

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): I don't know

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Google Cloud?

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): I don't know

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

To use HTTP domain validation the CA need to check your domain with a special HTTP (tcp port 80) request which your acme certificate software (certbot) helps reply to.

Your domain n8n.lunar-o.com doesn't point to the public IP of your server, so the CA cannot connect to it in order to check the HTTP response.
