See https://certbot.eff.org/docs/install.html#id9 "We used to have a
shell script named certbot-auto to help people install Certbot on UNIX
operating systems, however, this script is no longer supported. If you
want to uninstall certbot-auto, you can follow our instructions here."
... Skipping bootstrap because certbot-auto is deprecated on this
system. Your system is not supported by certbot-auto anymore. Certbot
cannot be installed. Please visit https://certbot.eff.org/ to check
for other alternatives. My Centos 7 is basically out of the box.
Previously with certbot-auto - it worked every time. Any one else run
into this and know what the issue is ?
The issue is fully documented and is simply that the certbot-auto script
is being discontinued by the certbot team at EFF. Questions about why
it's being discontinued would need to be taken up with the EFF team on
their github issue tracker at https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues
The EFF-recommended way to use certbot has changed. The _new_ way is
with a snap (as in 'install snapd and download the snap for certbot').
If you already have it might work, but that's going away; you need to
use the solution recommended at certbot.eff.org which first instructs
the user to uninstall any OS package containing certbot. At
https://certbot.eff.org/docs/install.html there is a warning block:
"While the Certbot team tries to keep the Certbot packages offered by
various operating systems working in the most basic sense, due to
distribution policies and/or the limited resources of distribution
maintainers, Certbot OS packages often have problems that other
distribution mechanisms do not. The packages are often old resulting in
a lack of bug fixes and features and a worse TLS configuration than is
generated by newer versions of Certbot. They also may not configure
certificate renewal for you or have all of Certbot’s plugins available.
For reasons like these, we recommend most users follow the instructions
at https://certbot.eff.org/instructions and OS packages are only
documented here as an alternative."
Further, this isn't a CentOS problem; CentOS 7 doesn't ship
certbot-auto. EPEL7 ships a certbot package, but it doesn't ship
certbot-auto. The certbot in the EPEL7 package is currently working on
one of my systems, but it is at this point in time one release out of
date. (the package currently in EPEL7 is 1.11.0; current is 1.12.0;
1.12.0 drops support for python2, so the move from 1.11.0 to 1.12.0
could be fun).
So, the EFF's recommended instructions for CentOS 7 running nginx are at
https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/centosrhel7-nginx ; (I chose the
nginx page because I am running some servers with CentOS 7 and nginx;
there are instructions for CentOS/RHEL 8 as well as for apache).
