I run it on linux (debian 10). I point a domain to my vps. But while i installing certbot i got this message:
Input the webroot for
and i don’t know what to do with it.

Hi @Obada

if you want to create a certificate, you must validate your domain name.

If you want to use http validation, a running webserver + port 80 is required.

So

  • create one and use it
  • use --standalone
  • switch to dns validation
