Getting ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '[|3|4]'

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: devilsan.com

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

Error: Command failed: certbot certonly --config "/etc/letsencrypt.ini" --cert-name "npm-4" --agree-tos --email "myemail@gmail.com" --domains "*.devilsan.com" --authenticator dns-linode --dns-linode-credentials "/etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-4" --dns-linode-propagation-seconds 9999

Hello @vitachaos,

Kindly wait for more knowledgeable Let's Encrypt community volunteers to assist.

Potentially useful information for them are

certbot --version
did you run the command with sudo
attach /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log to your response

Especially this

The issue is that you have probably copied the example from Welcome to certbot-dns-linode’s documentation! — certbot-dns-linode 0 documentation verbatim:

dns_linode_version = [<blank>|3|4]

This is understandably total jargon to a non-programmer. You probably want:

dns_linode_version = 4

I guess one should never just copy/paste examples if you don't understand their meaning

vitachaos · December 4, 2022, 5:49pm

No, I basically did not run any command by hand, I mentioned above in op, I am using Nginx Proxy Manager that has built in way to run certbot command.

I replaced the highlighted text with the api token from linode.

Within that "Credentials File Content" textarea, what does it say underneath the dns-linode-key = ... part?
