It produced this ouError: Command failed: certbot certonly --non-interactive --config "/etc/letsencrypt.ini" --cert-name "npm-1" --agree-tos --authenticator webroot --email "robertshed91@gmail.com" --preferred-challenges "dns,http" --domains "dash.animeking.net"

Hi @shedman214 and welcome to the LE community forum

@shedman214

--authenticator webroot

That requires a bit more information to work as expected.

@shedman214

I ran this command:
Let's encrypt certificate

Can you give more information on that step?
If a menu choice, please upload a picture of it.

[shedman214]

i'm running on a dedicated server through docker.

[rg305]

I don't know what to say about that.

So let me point to the obvious:
You need a working HTTP site before is can secured (via HTTP validation).
There is no IP address defined for dash.animeking.net.
So there is no way to reach the site (if one exists).

[shedman214]

I created a "A" Name on cloudflare to point to my dedicated server IP address.

[rg305]

If it resides behind CloudFare, why do you need an LE cert for it?
[a cert that no one (other than CF) would see]

[shedman214]

I watched some youtube videos and they all made SSL certs so I thought that's what I needed. Just trying to access my docker container outside the dedicated server network.

[rg305]

You could get a cert from CF for that.
OR, you could configure CF in a mode that can allow you to get a cert through it.
[I don't use them so I can't say for sure - but it's only one of two choices so it won't be hard to "guess"]

Now that it has an IP, you could try testing certbot in the staging system before trying to get a real cert.

[shedman214]

i created a cert from here and have a pem and key.

[rg305]

Ok.

So you now have a cert and its' private key.
[that is exactly what LE would do for you]

Now just go and use it.

[shedman214]

Thank You....Thank You........THANK YOU! that worked!!!!

[rg305]

Glad to hear that
