Not able to generate certificate with --nginx option

Help

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: b9cd6905.ngrok.io

I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx

It produced this output:

Hi @ketansomani

simple answer: Then use the webroot - option. If --nginx doesn't work, but webroot does, your configuration is buggy.

certbot run -a webroot -i nginx -w yourwebroot -d b9cd6905.ngrok.io
