Hi @alexandr,

I think this is a bug in Certbot because it shouldn’t crash this way.

The message you see is symptomatic of having a non-ASCII character in something that Certbot needs to process or display, which could be a directory name or part of the domain name. In this case u’\ufeff’ is the Unicode byte order mark, which is often used at the beginning of UTF-16-encoded files, especially text files created on Windows systems.

Did you perhaps use a Windows machine to create or modify one of the directory names related to your web server or Let’s Encrypt certificates, or one of the associated configuration files? Did you copy and paste any of the data that you input to certbot-auto (like a domain name or e-mail address) from a text file on a Windows machine?

Could you take a look in the file /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log and see if there are any more details about what Certbot was doing at the time that it crashed?
