Renew Expired Cert - The client lacks sufficient authorization

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: birdiedex.com

I ran this command:

certbot renew --dry-run

It produced this output:

There is a LightSpeed server answering on IPv6 (which is prefered by Let's Encrypt), while at your IPv4 address a nginx server answers.

Looking at the fact you're using the nginx authenticator and installer plugins, your IPv6 address with the LightSpeed server is incorrect.

Thanks for the quick reply. How can I update the IPv6 address?

I don't know how you usually edit your DNS zone, but that should be done in DNS at the DNS zone editor of your DNS provider.
