jitsi-meet: Ubuntu 20.04 fails to install jitsi via install-letsencrypt-cert.sh

I understand Ubuntu 20.04 had just come out today 4/23/2020. This is mainly an issue to track when you guys decide to move your support up from 18.04.

Description

install-letsencrypt-cert.sh fails on Ubuntu 20.04 due to

python-virtualenv has "no-installation candidate"

Even when we specify in our sources.list and download the older repository from ubuntu bionic, when it comes to the script to run certbot-auto it will than output. Which is not an issue you guys will be able to fix as it is not your project. Just outputting for reference. image

Current behavior

Attempts to install certbot-auto packages and fails to due

python-virtualenv has "no-installation candidate"

Expected Behavior

A fully installed jitsi instance configured with letsencrypt

Possible Solution

Use native certbot rather than certbot-auto.

Steps to reproduce

If you need a quick and fast installation of Ubuntu 20.04 vultr has some images up. https://www.vultr.com

Environment details

Ubuntu 20.04

@dantman Pls have a look at Jitsi Meet Installation Ubuntu 20.04. You’ll have to:

Install certbot: sudo apt install certbot

and replace ./certbot-auto with certbot in the script /usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/install-letsencrypt-cert.sh

sudo sed -i 's/\.\/certbot-auto/certbot/g' /usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/install-letsencrypt-cert.sh

It’s an issue that happens only on ubuntu 20.04, I can confirm 18.04 works perfectly
