Hi @odosya and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

It seems that you are stuck and are trying to fix your problem by starting at step #1.
But you don't require getting another cert; You've already been issued five certs for that name.

Please review the output of:
certbot certificates

No certs found.

Are you running in docker?
Or is there some other explanation on how the issued certs are no longer in your system?

I want to install a certificate on my domain, it gives this error because I have installed a lot of ssl before. How can I install an ssl certificate on my domain? i am not using a panel

I understand what you want to do.
Do you understand that LE has already issued you five certs for that exact name?
crt.sh | odosya.com
We need to correct the problem before you can continue.
Please detail all the steps that you are taking.

Yes, since I have installed ssl before, now it won't let me install it. Can you give me 1 more right? I need to set up SSL. Can you reset this right?

No there is NO reset.
Only time will reset it.

You need to use the staging system for testing (not the production system)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx

sudo certbot --nginx

There must have been other steps taken.

Also, snap is the recommended method to install certbot for Ubuntu 20.04.

I have installed many ssl before. I installed ssl 1 week ago.
I know the steps but it won't let me setup ssl. I am Turkish. What do I need to do to set up SSL?

You need to understand WHY your system is erasing the issued certs.
If you repeat the same exact steps you will get the same exact outcome.

I was setting up ssl by following the steps at the site address below. I have set up ssl using these methods many times before. How can I reset the limit?

Only time that can reset that limit.

Please don't use those old instructions.
I gave you the recommended installation instructions for Ubuntu 20.04 and nginx:

If you change your config (back) to include the "www" name, you can get one more certificate issued today.
BUT I WOULD NOT TRY THAT UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED.
So, I would caution you to use the --dry-run testing parameter until it says it has passed.
OR you will burn that last cert too and be stuck waiting for a few days for another chance.

sudo certbot --nginx --dry-run

Those instructions are outdated.
I don't know what else to say...
But "good luck" :beers:
