Certbot-auto not working anymore

Help

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: si.diese.org, relecture.diese.org, wiki.diese.org

I ran this command: certbot-auto renew

It produced this output:

Hi @maxime.song

you have created a new Letsencrypt certificate yesterday ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=si.diese.org ):

But Wheezy is EOL, so it's not longer supported.

So you should update your OS.

Hi, thank you for your answer.
As you saw, certbot-auto wasn’t working so i looked for answer on the web and i found somewhere a solution which has worked but only for si.diese.org, not the others.
Furthermore the server is on Debian 8.7, so Certbot should still be working on the server no?

4

What worked? Which client, which command?

5

Yes, certbot-auto should work on Debian 8 (Jessie). Can you check again that you're really using Jessie?

Wheezy is Debian 7.

(That error happens because you have to use a different repository server for old versions.)

That error happens because modern versions of certbot-auto aren't compatible with the old version of pip in Wheezy.
