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. https://crt.sh/?q=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: http://34.106.29.112/

I ran this command: ```
./certbot-auto certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html/ -d 34.106.29.112 -d 34.106.29.112


It produced this output:

Hi,

I think currently let’s Encrypt can’t issue certificates to non-domains.

The issue you are currently facing is: you asked certbot to generate a certificate using webroot, which means it will attempt to place a verification file under the directory. But, the directory didn’t exist.

Hi @mmyy

a domain name abc.com is required, not an ip address.

There exist certificates with ip addresses (see https://1.1.1.1/ ), but Letsencrypt doesn't allow to create such certificates.

There are some free domain providers (with some limitations) you can use. Then create an A record Yourdomain -> yourIp.
