The Certbot Apache plugin has some per-OS builtin defaults related to Apache. For example, these are the ones on a Debian system:
OS_DEFAULTS = dict(
server_root="/etc/apache2",
vhost_root="/etc/apache2/sites-available",
vhost_files="*",
logs_root="/var/log/apache2",
version_cmd=['apache2ctl', '-v'],
apache_cmd="apache2ctl",
restart_cmd=['apache2ctl', 'graceful'],
conftest_cmd=['apache2ctl', 'configtest'],
enmod="a2enmod",
dismod="a2dismod",
le_vhost_ext="-le-ssl.conf",
handle_mods=True,
handle_sites=True,
challenge_location="/etc/apache2",
MOD_SSL_CONF_SRC=pkg_resources.resource_filename(
"certbot_apache", "options-ssl-apache.conf")
)
You should be able to override each option with a command line option starting with --apache- and the name of the option (except with _ replaced by -). For example --apache-restart-cmd to set the restart_cmd option.
