“‘Authenticator’ object has no attribute ‘restart’” Error while trying to renew certificate

[mgrant]

I ran across the issue stated in this closed post here: "'Authenticator' object has no attribute 'restart'" Error while trying to renew certificate

Unfortunately I can't reply to the closed thread so posting a new thread...

I only seemed to have this issue with one of my certbot domains. The difference for me was this line in the renewal file:

installer = standalone

Removing this single line from the renewal file (/etc/letsencrypt/renewal/mydomain.com) seems to have solved my issue.

My other renewal files did not contain that line and they have been renewing just fine. I am also using pre_hook and post_hook scripts to stop and restart services.

not sure standalone installer make sense: just delete/edit that installer line same as other and renew it? (and still pls backup)

This is very curious because there is no "standalone" installer.
