Solved Trying to setup LetsEncrypt SSl Cert using Certbox

Im referencing guide: https://docs.vultr.com/how-to-install-nginx-web-server-on-freebsd-14-0

I am stuck at step 2 of

Generate Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificates​

Generate a new Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate using your domain name. Replace app.example.com with your actual domain and user@example.com with your email

The error I receive is:
Could not automatically find a matching server block for sizzlecaddy.com. Set the `server_name` directive to use the Nginx installer.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

Do you actually have a website configured for this name in your nginx configuration? Because it's telling you it cannot find a website with that name.
