✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/nginxproxymanager.sh)"

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

/app/scripts/install-certbot-plugins

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

No response

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

After install, the certbot porkbin plugin fails with error when attempting to generate an SSL I got the error:
certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: --dns-porkbun-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-4

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

I installed npm with and certbot extensions:

$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/nginxproxymanager.sh)"
# login to lxc host 
/app/scripts/install-certbot-plugins

The plugin installer runs the commands with the format:
. /opt/certbot/bin/activate && pip install <ARGS> && deactivate

Which installs the certbot plugins into a virtual env (this is the potential bug).

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: --dns-porkbun-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-4

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

I was able to resolve by forcing the porkbun pip install as root
pip install --no-cache-dir certbot-dns-porkbun~=0.9

So why are the certbot plugins being installed to a virtual env if the NPM service is not actually loading it?

I had the same issue with the hetzner plugin.
Your workaround also fixed it for me.

pip install --no-cache-dir certbot-dns-hetzner

"Since there are hundreds of Certbot instances, it's necessary to install the specific Certbot of your preference. Running /app/scripts/install-certbot-plugins within the nginxproxymanager LXC shell will install many additional plugins."

=> this tool is from npm himself, its not from us
