Getting the path to new certificates requested via certonly by a script

Client dev

I have a script that uses certbot certonly to request certificates, then copy/deploy them. Since the path to the certificates isn’t always /etc/letsencrypt/live/$domain, but can have appended -0001, etc. I’d need to get this path from certbot. I could parse the output of certbot certonly or certbot certificates but I was wondering if there was an easier way, something like an environment variable such as the one that certbot passes with --deploy-hook.

Thanks

You can use --cert-name to specify the certificate name - typically the first domain name on the certificate. This will prevent any -001 suffixes and guarantees a predictable path under /etc/letsencrypt/live/.
