Discussion: Certbot PPA has been DEPRECATED
SamuelMwangiW opened this issue · 3 comments
As per the the official launchpad description https://launchpad.net/~certbot/+archive/ubuntu/certbot and the following blocking prompt, the ppa has been deprecated.
As per eff instructions (https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntufocal-nginx), the recommended installation method is as a snap package. I would personally never run snapd on a server just to install certbot and would sometimes opt to run the outdated version found in the official packages (https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/certbot: currently at version 0.40 while the latest certbot release is version 1.2) but wanted to get the community input on this one.
@bobbyiliev what's your thoughts?
Installation via pip looks to me like a better route for larasail (https://pypi.org/project/certbot/)
Hi there @SamuelMwangiW,
Thanks for spotting this and bringing it up!
Yes, I agree that going for the installation via pip is a great idea!
Also once again, thank you for the amazing contributions to this project! I've sent you an invite to become a maintainer to this project if you wish 🙌
Hi @bobbyiliev.
Thanks for the invite to maintain this amazing project that has saved me hours of deployment time: am extremely humbled.
I will PR a fix later this evening.
