Unauthorized response

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. 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:
test.txanalytics.com
I ran this command:

docker-compose run --rm --entrypoint "\
  certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/certbot \
    --staging \
    redacted@gmail.com \
    test.txanalytics.com \
    --rsa-key-size 2048 \
    --agree-tos \
    --force-renewal" certbot

It produced this output:

### Requesting Let's Encrypt certificate for test.txanalytics.com ...

Hi @neddacs

there is your topic with the same problem.

You have to find your correct webroot.
