ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'certbot'

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.

Hi and welcome!

Why would you use an FQDN from "azure.com" ?

Your certbot probably failed while trying to update itself.

Perhaps just follow the instructions here? :wink:
Admittedly, yours are more concise, rg305.

It's not worth fixing.
You need to be at least at 1.6.0.

In case anyone thinks...
I can fix that!
Version 0.31.0 ain't worth fixing.
