Hi all,
macOS user here having trouble with plugin for dns challenge.
I am using a wildcard cert *.kimpenhaus.net
in my local network. I renewed it several times successful with certbot already (executing the same command). But after the latest update (from 1.0.0 in January) to 1.3.0 I can’t get it work. My guess is that the plugin itself is not in the search path of certbot, but I can’t get it fixed.
some background information:
-
certbot
is installed via homebrew and onversion 1.3.0 (HEAD)
- plugin is certbot-dns-inwx which is installed via pip3:
pip3 install certbot-dns-inwx
- error is:
certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: --certbot-dns-inwx:dns-inwx-credentials /Users/k/Documents/git/lets-encrypt/config/inwx.cfg
I used to have this error after prior updates but from what I understood it came from switching away from virtualenv on one of the former updates (and I got it fixed by installing the plugin into global site-packages). Since january (my last renewal) I can’t see any major changes so I can’t understand why this is not working anymore. All my estimations to print out out certbots search path failed - event thou I used to --verbose
I can’t get any information on why the plugin isn’t found.
As time is running out - my cert is still valid unitl 2020-04-02 - I would like to have it working again So any help is appreciated.
I am little unsure if this is somewaht a special setup as I can’t find much related information nor am I sure if this is related to homebrew setup constellation or changes in certbot in 1.1.0/1.2.0 or 1.3.0 ( last working version was 1.0.0).
answers to questions from help template:
My domain is:
- wildcard cert:
*.kimpenhaus.net
(but behind firewall in a local network not accessible from the internet)
I ran this command:
certbot renew --verbose -a certbot-dns-inwx:dns-inwx \
--certbot-dns-inwx:dns-inwx-credentials ~/Documents/git/lets-encrypt/config/inwx.cfg \
--logs-dir ~/Documents/git/lets-encrypt/logs \
--config-dir ~/Documents/git/lets-encrypt/config \
--work-dir ~/Documents/git/lets-encrypt/ \
--server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
--deploy-hook ~/Documents/git/lets-encrypt/config/renewal-hooks/deploy/deploy.sh \
--force-renewal
It produced this output:
usage:
certbot [SUBCOMMAND] [options] [-d DOMAIN] [-d DOMAIN] ...
Certbot can obtain and install HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificates. By default,
it will attempt to use a webserver both for obtaining and installing the
certificate.
certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: --certbot-dns-inwx:dns-inwx-credentials /Users/k/Documents/git/lets-encrypt/config/inwx.cfg
My web server is (include version):
none -> dns challenge
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
macOS 10.15.3 Catalina
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
none
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
I think it's not relevant - but yes I can (but didn't needed to in the past)
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
I think it's not relevant abd I run the command from the shell
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you’re using Certbot):
certbot 1.3.0
If any further information is need to get help, I happily provide
Thanks for your time and help!
