[nginx-proxy-manager] Cannot generate Let's Encrypt certification.

[hilee0602]

Hi.

Recently I reinstalled my server and reinstalled npm.
And I try to generate new Let's Encrypt certification on npm, then I saw below error message.

"
Error: Command failed: certbot certonly --config "/etc/letsencrypt.ini" --cert-name "npm-2" --agree-tos --email "[My Email]" --domains "[Domain]" --authenticator dns-cloudflare --dns-cloudflare-credentials "/etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-2"
usage:
certbot [SUBCOMMAND] [options] [-d DOMAIN] [-d DOMAIN] ...

Certbot can obtain and install HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificates. By default,
it will attempt to use a webserver both for obtaining and installing the
certificate.
certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: --dns-cloudflare-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-2

Could you help me how can I fix this problem??

Thanks.

c43dcea should fix your issue. If not, let me know.

I'm a bit uncertain, do you intend to utilize the Cloudflare DNS challenge?

[tteck]

If not, you can skip the second and third steps.

I checked "Use a DNS Challenge" option when I make certificate file.

Thanks, this fixed it for me.

Hi tteck,

Firstly, thank you for sharing with the community and your obvious hard work and commitment to this project.

I had the same issue --"error: unrecognized arguments: --dns-namecheap-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-1"

I tried what was mentioned in #1282 using nano /opt/certbot/pyvenv.cfg and it did not work.

I love it when stuff does not work as that provides the maximum learning curve behind the scenes.

I tired reinstalling as I moved this from one proxmox node to another using --: bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/nginxproxymanager.sh)"

In the end the issue was resolved by --: python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir cffi certbot certbot-dns-namecheap

Thanks again!!!

For completeness...
