I'm trying to use the 'dns-hetzner' plugin on Rocky Linux 9.2, certbot 2.5.0, python 3.9.16, but after installation it is not listed in the output of 'certbot plugins' As root I did: dnf install certbot pip3 install certbot-dns-hetzner certbot plugins Tried rebooting but plugin is still not lis…

Hi @repacks , and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile: I have zero experience with Hetzner... But I do see that acme.sh supports it: dnsapi · acmesh-official/acme.sh Wiki · GitHub [also, certbot latest version is now 2.6.0]

Certbot should be able to see plugins installed with pip. Is there just a single Python version installed or are there multiple by any chance?

Yeah that's what I expected. This was the behavior in Rocky 8.x, certbot just recognized the plugin no problem. I don't believe there is another version of Python installed. I tried: ls -l /usr/bin | grep -i python and only see one version. Although I assume there is a more thorough way to find i…

Nothing that seems useful to me. I did try to retrieve a cert (certbot -v certonly ...) just in case in case 'certbot plugins' is/was not reliable. Log file shows: 2023-05-19 09:26:25,092:DEBUG:certbot._internal.main:certbot version: 2.5.0 2023-05-19 09:26:25,093:DEBUG:certbot._internal.main:Locati…

So I found a workaround. After much poking around here are the steps that got me to a mostly working solution. Not sure how to handle automated renewals just yet. I'm posting hopefully enough detail to help others whose searches may end up here and/or someone who might be able to create a more perma…

Weird. Certbot indeed can use that environment variable, but looking at the code that variable just extends the sys.path property, which should contain the paths where pip has put the plugin, right? You might want to check your sys.path by just running a Python "shell" (e.g. python) and run: impo…

Perhaps putting something like this in the cli.ini file might do the trick: CERTBOT-PLUGIN-PATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ [wild guess]

Yeah I did try that: python3 import sys print(sys.path) ['', '/usr/lib64/python39.zip', '/usr/lib64/python3.9', '/usr/lib64/python3.9/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages', '/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages']

How do I make certbot find/use an installed plugin?

Does the letsencrypt.log file mention anything funny?
