This Works as Temporary Workaround for me.

Open the Container Shell docker exec -it nginxproxymanager_app_1 /bin/bash

apt update apt dist-upgrade apt install python3 python3-venv libaugeas0 python3 -m venv /opt/certbot/ /opt/certbot/bin/pip install --upgrade pip /opt/certbot/bin/pip install certbot==1.32.0 certbot-apache==1.32.0 acme==1.32.0

This problem is caused by the wrong version of certbot, please go inside the docker container and execute the following command 👇

apt update
apt dist-upgrade
apt install python3 python3-venv libaugeas0
python3 -m venv /opt/certbot/
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install certbot==1.32.0 certbot-apache==1.32.0 acme==1.32.0

Please take care to backup your data

I can confirm that https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/2430#issuecomment-1329981484 fixed it. But certain lines are not needed and can be confusing for others, so the updated one:

apt update; apt upgrade -y
apt install -y libaugeas0
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install certbot==1.32.0 certbot-apache==1.32.0 acme==1.32.0

# Clean up cache [optional]
apt clean
pip3 cache purge

Note: I had to request the certifate twice from LetsEncrypt. My first trial gave an error (a different one), so you might need to try a few times until you get it.

Thanks @Rynal @skay-zhang

This is it. It’s what finally worked for me. DNS provider for GoDaddy was leading to the failure, but only because it bumped the version of certbot above 2.

I mixed a few approaches from above, but the key for me was pinning all the important certbot packages down to 1.32 while installing the DNS provider package with the following:

apt update && apt upgrade -y && apt install -y libaugeas0
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install certbot==1.32.0 certbot-nginx==1.32.0 acme==1.32.0 certbot-dns-godaddy

Same issue, with PowerDNS

Open the Container Shell docker exec -it nginxproxymanager_app_1 /bin/bash

apt update apt dist-upgrade apt install python3 python3-venv libaugeas0 python3 -m venv /opt/certbot/ /opt/certbot/bin/pip install --upgrade pip /opt/certbot/bin/pip install certbot==1.32.0 certbot-apache==1.32.0 acme==1.32.0

This worked for me, but had to use command “pip3” instead of “/opt/certbot/bin/pip”
