Hey guys,
i just intalled certbot on my rpi with raspian.
When i try to get a cert certbot doenst do anything…
I already tried to just get the latest version from GitHub -> Same behavior
Getting it from testing repo -> Same behavior
Getting it from backports repo -> Same behavior
Somebody knows another way to get it running?
Thank you
@Mike1082 dont think that my problem is issued by this service disruption.
In this case certbot should say couldnt connect or nah? Already had this problem on a different device some time ago…
Try checking your log files. Not sure if the location will be the same on the Pi (I am running in Docker) but for me it was /var/log/letsencrypt. I ran:
# tail -f /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
The output showed I was getting a ClientError: <Response 504> when trying to contact acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org (which is related to the current outage).
Tried again. Which plugin is meant in the following…

hi @FlorianTaut
Have you tried searching the forums?
Few people have come across the issue you are having.
Also it’s useful to articulate how you installed certbot as I believe there is an issue with some of the installers.

Hi @FlorianTaut
Also if you read the log carefully it tells you exactly what the problem is
Certbot has a concept of plugins and one of these plugins is called the Apache plugin.
If you run certbot plugins you will see a list of available plugins
I believe your issue is that you are trying to use the apache plugin without installing it.

Yes but want to know how the name of the plugin is. I know that something with Apache doesn’t work but the logs don’t help my finding out the name of the required plugin.
Hi @FlorianTaut,
The packages that you need are augeas-lenses and libaugeas0 but they should be installed automatically if you are using the last certbot version (0.14.1)… at least on Raspberry Pi 3 and raspbian-Jessie that is what I’m using ( it could work fine in Raspberry Pi 2 but I don’t have one to test it)
So, first remove the virtualenv and install certbot-auto as root.
cd /root/
rm -rf .local/share/letsencrypt/
wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
chmod a+x certbot-auto
./certbot-auto --apache
certbot-auto will try to install all the needed packages (it could take several minutes).
Just in case you want to compare, these are my sources:
root@miniwinipoint:~# grep -i '^[a-z]' /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi
root@miniwinipoint:~# grep -i '^[a-z]' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list
deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ jessie main ui
Edit: These are the versions of main packages that certbot-auto will try to install.
# dpkg -l | grep -E '(augeas-lenses |ca-certificates |gcc |libaugeas0 |libffi-dev |libssl-dev |openssl |ii python |python-dev |python-virtualenv |virtualenv )'
ii augeas-lenses 1.2.0-0.2+deb8u1 all Set of lenses needed by libaugeas0 to parse config files
ii ca-certificates 20141019+deb8u3 all Common CA certificates
ii gcc 4:4.9.2-2 armhf GNU C compiler
ii libaugeas0 1.2.0-0.2+deb8u1 armhf Augeas configuration editing library and API
ii openssl 1.0.1t-1+deb8u6 armhf Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - cryptographic utility
ii python 2.7.9-1 armhf interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version)
ii python-dev 2.7.9-1 armhf header files and a static library for Python (default)
ii python-virtualenv 1.11.6+ds-1 all Python virtual environment creator
