This means that Let's encrypt was not able to reach your domain name from outside to. Check your DNS settings and firewall.

Hi,I just followed the instructions everything went like described.Just after installing letsencrypt it said the challenge was not met, so no certificate.

When i give in the url for the subdomain, I get the welcome page from nginx that is  in var/www/html no jitsi.

 

Could it be something is missing on the server, it is a new server with ubuntu 18.04?

 

Regards,Jan

Please I installed it step by step and evry thing is ok till step 4 Generate Letsencrypt SSL Certificate

I didnt have  /etc/letsencrypt/live but  /etc/letsencrypt/. under this directory I only have 5 others directory (account,csr,keys, re newals; renewal-hooks).

Please help me to fix this. Excuse me for my bad english.

Nice information.

ALL the problems mentioned here are DNS related (including LetsEncrypt). Check your DNS settings (both device and server.) Ping from terminal and check IP.

I installed Jitsi on a Digital Ocean droplet and couldn't connect using https.  The problem was the firewall configuration.  Running sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full' got it working, though now Chrome complains about Let's Encrypt certificates
