Cannot install Classic Certbot on Rocky Linux 8

Client dev
1

Hello, I am facing an issue with trying to set up Let's Encrypt via Certbot on my Rocky Linux 8 Server. I had run the command "sudo snap install --classic certbot", but the install timed out with the error "error: cannot communicate with server: timeout exceeded while waiting for response". I had removed snapd, thinking that could've been the root cause, and reinstalled it, but I am facing the same error. Any help on this topic is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a specific reason to use certbot?

There can be several more appropriate acme clients, depending on your use case.

Update: Solved. For whatever reason, the version of snapd I was using would not work on Rocky 8, so I had to install certbot directly.
