When I try to add a certificate I get an internal error which outputs: (page opens with http, but bitwarden does not allow registering on http)
Error: Command failed: certbot certonly --config "/etc/letsencrypt.ini" --cert-name "npm-15" --agree-tos --authenticator webroot --email "vetezz@gmail.com" --preferred-challenges "dns,http" --domains "bitwarden.vete.space"

Hello @Vete, welcome to the Let's Encrypt community.
It looks like a Python component is missing; please see https://certbot.eff.org/
generally the snap method of installing Certbot is the preferred method.
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. crt.sh | 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:
I ran this command:
It produced this output:
My web server is (include version):
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):
I do not know that command, others here may very well know; so forgive my ignorance when I as is that a GUI Control Panel of some sort? Possibly related to Bitwarden?

NPM is not a very good piece of software.
That said, I don't think that is where your biggest problem lies.
To confirm my suspicions, riddle me this: Have you been able to use certbot on this system to obtain any cert?
If not, then I suspect you have not properly installed certbot.
Please follow the recommended installation instructions (for Ubuntu 20), at: Certbot (eff.org)
This is my first time trying to obtain a cert on this system, and when I try to run this command which is a part of the installation process: sudo certbot --nginx I get an error saying this:
