Renewal failed on challenge webroot

[deno028]

Certbot version: 2.7.0

After checking more inside container and run manually I got this error:

root@9c48b818ed57:/# certbot --nginx renew -v
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Certificate is due for renewal, auto-renewing...
Failed to renew certificate[mydomain.com] with error: The requested nginx plugin does not appear to be installed

Then I install nginx plugin for certbot by running this command:
apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx

Rerun renew command inside container:
certbot renew

Now it successful renewal.

Hi deno028,

It looks like certbot is trying to perform the renewal going through HTTPS instead of the HTTP path we expect. How does the rest of you configurations look like?

[JonasAlfredsson]

Any updates on this?

[deno028]

On my last comment. I ran it successfully after install nginx module.

I think something wrong with the renewal challenge it should be called http instead of https.

I still think there is something iffy with the rest of the config. But if you are happy with your solution we close this issue :)
