installing cerbot on ubuntu using pip

why?

Ubuntu 20.04 certbot package is ancient, the packge offers version 0.40.0 instead the current version is 2.6.x.

I need some resource like —preferred-chain that only exists in the recent version.

let's install it

apt remove certbot -f

installing depencies

 apt install python3 python3-venv libaugeas0

creating a venv

python3 -m venv /opt/certbot/

upgrading pip

/opt/certbot/bin/pip install --upgrade pip

installing the plugins

/opt/certbot/bin/pip install certbot certbot-apache certbot-nginx certbot-dns-cloudflare

creating the simbolic link

ln -s /opt/certbot/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot

creating a certificate for my zimbra

certbot certonly --dns-cloudflare --dns-cloudflare-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/cloudflare/nativetrail.conf -d '*.nativetrail.io,nativetrail.io' -n --force-renewal --preferred-chain "ISRG Root X1"

That's it ;)
