WinError 10013 - Problem binding to port 80

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: tv.glaubarrie.de

I ran this command: certbot certonly --standalone

It produced this output: C:\Windows\system32>certbot certonly --standalone

Welcome @knoppid

The EFF is discontinuing support for Windows in Certbot starting next month. You should not use it for new Windows installations.

See below thread for suggested alternatives. The problem you are having is that Certbot is not well integrated into the way Windows shares ports. One of these Windows-specific alternatives will work better.

For Jellyfin, you might even consider a proxy like Caddy which manages the certs for you. I saw that mentioned in talks about Jellyfin when I searched just now. In fact, here is a how-to from a dev of caddy on the Jellyfin forum (link here)
