Issue with renew - <urlopen error timed out>

Server
1

Hi,
I have an issue with renew of my certificate.

I ran this command as root:

./letsencrypt-auto renew

It produced this output:

Upgrading certbot-auto 0.28.0 to 0.30.0...
Couldn't download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/certbot/certbot/v0.30.0/letsencrypt-auto-source/letsencrypt-auto. <urlopen error timed out>

My operating system:
Debian GNU/Linux 8.11 (jessie)

The renew three months ago ran smoothly. Unfortunately not today.
Maybe someone can guide me to solve the issue.

Thank you!

Perhaps one of the name servers has an expired ip cached.

Check

nslookup raw.githubusercontent.com

or

dig raw.githubusercontent.com

to see the current ip address of raw.githubusercontent.com. If this doesn’t work, check your /etc/hosts file and add

151.101.112.133  raw.githubusercontent.com

as a static (temporary) ip address.
