How can I get Certbot to see my new domain?

I am trying to get a certificate from Lets Encrypt. I purchased a domain from Google. The purpose is for HTTPS on a Drupal 9 site. Drupal 9 is installed and running. (Linode Community Script)

  1. Through Google Admin Page, I set the URL to forward to my Linode IP.
  2. At Google, I set the Name server to ns1.lindoe.com, ns2…
  3. In The Linode admin page, I added the DNS.
  4. On my node "Network" panel, I added the reverse DNS.

When I run Certbot, it shows:

Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
- - - - - - -
1: li561-162.members.linode.com
2: www.li561-162.members.linode.com

What do I have to change to get my new URL to show up here?

This can be frustrating. It looks like you will need to wait for your reverse DNS to propagate first. The TTL for your PTR record is set to 86400 secs (1 day):

162.104.58.198.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN    PTR [redacted for your privacy].com.

You might want to try again, but it could take up to 24 hours if the previous PTR record lookup has been cached.
