Getting Certbot

Help

I was going to get Certbot-auto typing following command in my Terminal: wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
But I couldn't do it. I got this in my Terminal:
leopoldo@localhost:/usr/local/bin$ sudo wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto

Did I typed wrongly?
How can I get Certbot-auto?
thanks

You can't get certbot-auto, it's obsolete.

You can get certbot at certbot.eff.org

I see that you must install it with snap only. Isn't there any other option?

You can use pip.

Or another acme client. ACME Client Implementations - Let's Encrypt

Or, depending on your OS, you may be able to install a packaged version of certbot. Debian and CentOS have reasonably-current packages available.

But Ubuntu (20.04) does not. Wait for 22.04 or find another way/use Debian.

Not via APT.
But ubuntu has supported snap for many years, and that method/version should work well.

I have ubuntu 18.04. Why not via APT?

Because the certbot package in apt is just too old.

I got Certbot by snap and it worked perfect. Anyway I created a certificate for my domain name without any problem, but I noticed that it works fine for the domain name given but not for the domain IP. How can I make the certificated obtained to be valid also for the domain IP and not only for the domain name?

You cannot with Let's Encrypt. IP addresses are not supported and while they hope to offer it there is no specific plan for it.

There used to be a Chinese CA offering free certificates including IP addresses at https://acme.pki.plus/acme/directory but it seems to be gone now..

It was issued by the "Quantum Secure Site DV TLS CN RSA R1" intermediate which only has a single certificate which in turn is signed by a SSL.com root.

Hi.
I installed properly Certbot and got certificate.
I have Apache in my server and when installing certificate I was asked by certbot what virtual host I wanted to choose. I have 2 virtual hosts.
How can I change the virtual host where I want to have the certificate installed after installation?
Regards

You can install it in both if you want.

Just run certbot install and answer certbot's questions.

Thank you for your answer.

I did it, but it only asked my about the domain I wanted to install the certificate to and the domain the same. I have 2 different virtual hosts for the same domain and I want to apply the certificate for the virtual host it is not in now. Is this possible to change the vh within th same domain?

When I installed the certificate first time it ask me what vh I wanted to use to install the certificate because I have 2. I selected one of them but really I would need to instal in the other one.

Kind regards

You probably have to do that by hand.
