Help
1

Hi!

i have the same problem… again…
i cannot renew my certificate because of an error in certbot (or… an error in my config, to be precious)
can anybody please help me to fix it? i had to reinstall my nextcloud the last time…
thank you so much in advance!

My domain is: elberthome.dnshome.de

I ran this command: certbot renew

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Hi @noomiis

you need an open port 80. But there is nothing open, all refused - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=elberthome.dnshome.de
