@certbot-devs Did something go wrong with updating the certbot snap perhaps?
@azazael What's your architecture? I'm guessing not AMD64, correct?
It seems the certbot snap is only available for stable and beta on amd64, arm64 and armhf, but not for i386. For i386 only an older version of certbot (1.5.0?) on the channel "edge" is available.
The 32-bit snap had to be killed because Ubuntu fully dropped support for 32-bit platforms (around 19.10 I think). The Certbot snap is based on 20.04.
You can still install a very old version of Certbot from xenial-updates/bionic-updates and it should work for the remainder of the lifetime of those operating systems.
I gathered the architecture is the issue. I have been putting off an upgrade for awhile, if things are easier in 20 then I will just bite the bullet and upgrade things. I really should be on the LTS at this point anyway.
if the architecture is the main issue would it be possible to get the installation instructions to include options for those of us who don't have an architecture choice (I am locked into AMD Ryzen)?
I think I am running Linux inside a virtualization (Dedicated KVM Slice from Buy VM). Would that mean I am locked into i686? Sorry for the probably stupid question, I have a lot of learning to do about could hosted VM slices.
I would have thought I would have picked the 64bit version, maybe not.
Rebuilding the server doesn't sound a fun way to spend the tomorrow, but if means going to 64bit (assuming I did screw up and pick 32) it would be worth it. Unless Ubuntu would let me upgrade and then migrate my configs and everything over.
So let me resume, the LetsEncrypt that supposedly is an Open Source Consortium sponsored by several Open Source Foundations and Individuals ditched an universal script to implement a proprietary repository (SNAPs from Canonical) that does not work with 32 bits Servers, and is very picky with the underline Linux based installation. Wow, amazing Agenda of this so Called Open Source Foundations!
