Please help renew cert

[zhaoxiasan]

My domain is: sevenburg.com

I ran this command: certbot --nginx-ctl /usr/sbin/nginx renew --force-renew --quiet --nginx --renew-hook "/etc/init.d/nginx reload"

It produced this output: Attempting to renew cert (sevenburg.com) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/sevenburg.com.conf produced an unexpected error: None of the preferred challenges are supported by the selected plugin. Skipping.
All renewal attempts failed. The following certs could not be renewed:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/sevenburg.com/fullchain.pem (failure)
1 renew failure(s), 0 parse failure(s)

My web server is (include version): nginx 1.22.0

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Debian 10

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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

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

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): 0.31.0

PS: crontab worked fine but this time an error occurs.

Welcome to the Let's Encrypt Community, @zhaoxiasan.

You should take care to avoid the following option in your certbot commands. It isn't a magical cure for failure and can cause you to hit rate limits. It is best to not use that option.

@zhaoxiasan

--force-renew

You might want to review the Let's Debug results for your domain.

@zhaoxiasan

--force-renew

Don't use --force-renew. Seriously, don't.

Have you manually edited the renewal config file? Because it's calling for the DNS-01 challenge using the nginx authenticator, and these two don't go together--the nginx authenticator can't update your DNS records, and thus can't solve the DNS challenge. I'd expect it will work if you change pref_challs to http-01 in the renewal config file.

Thank you for the excellent opening post with all the extra information, kudo's

Next to this compliment I don't have anything to add next to the good advice my fellow volunteers already have given.

I see a whole lot of unnecessary things in that renewal request.
I'd try just:

certbot renew

[and post the output of that]
