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. https://crt.sh/?q=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:
I ran this command:
./certbot-auto certonly --standalone --standalone-supported-challenges http-01 --email youremail@address -d yourdomain.duckdns.org
It produced this output:
Certbot has problem setting up the virtual environment.
We were not be able to guess the right solution from your pip
output.
My web server is (include version):
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: home asstant duckdns https cert
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): YES
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): putty
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):

It doesn’t do anything to get certbot running, but you could try a different client instead, one that doesn’t have as many dependencies. I use acme.sh quite a bit.
This seems like a really weird state. At this point, you might want to make a backup of your certificates/configurations and try to uninstall certbot completely, then re-install.
can someone help me?
