SOLVED - Docker lets encrypt error

Help
1

hello,
I use lets encrypt in a docker container. port 80 and 443 is forwarded from host to container, so everything should work correctly.
I got this error:

Encountered exception:

I just installed it, it is up to date
It is installed on a Debian 9.3

Make sure you have the latest: https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions/

And the error is rather vague:

Do you have any other messages?

5

No, thats the error from the log :confused: sorry

python-certbot-apache is already the newest version (0.10.2-1).

6

Try running it as root

7

already done. I only have a root user in my docker container

8

OK. What is the command you ran?

9

i executed:
certbot --apache

10

Some things to try that may help or shed some light:

find / -name certbot
which certbot
certbot certificates
certbot --apache -v
certbot --manual

SOLVED

There was another config file in the sites-enabled folder which was not a host config file.
This caused the error.
