Timeout during connect problem

Good morning, I'm having problems renewing my certificate. I always managed to renew, but now I'm having problems.

    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
    entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
    contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that
    your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no
    firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the
    client. If you're using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
    that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.

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:

I ran this command:

Doesn't match the any of the stated domains:
gitlab.conder.ba.gov.br
devmaps.informs.conder.ba.gov.br

In the case that you simply obscured it and they are one and the same, the error message tells you exactly why it fails.

You must have a working HTTP site before you can secure it (via HTTP authentication).

Also, I thought gitlab sites were setup through the gitlab integration

both have a working HTTP site

there are several ways to put ssl certificate in gitlab, in my case I used this procedure
