Hi,
I am trying to host my (first) website with nginx via ubuntu on a vm instance with google cloud, on a domain registered with google domains. I mostly followed the steps outlined through this guide.
I can access the website via the IP address but not via the url, which is probably why I’m getting the following error but I cannot work out how to fix it .
My domain is: ownintothefoam.com
I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx certonly
Gives output:
Starting new HTTPS connection (1): acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org
Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for?
1: ownintothefoam.com
2: www.ownintothefoam.com
