I installed a Django app on AWS EC2 using Docker. My confguration follows the Django cookiecutter template. But when I start my containers, I see this error in the logs:

```auto
"Unable to obtain ACME certificate for domains \"example.com,www.example.com\": unable to generate a certificate for the domains [example.com www.example.com]: acme: error: 400 :: POST :: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-order :: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rejectedIdentifier :: Error creating new order :: Cannot issue for \"example.com\":

```

So it does not seem to pick up my domain name at all, but thinks my domain is [example.com](http://example.com), and not the domain specified in the yml file.

This is my traefik.yml file:

```auto

Any help / insight is appreciated

You should probably use separate files for static (entrypoints, providers, certificatesResolvers) and dynamic (routers, services) config.
