Issue using certbot with nginx

You have to re-install a python3 version of Lets Encrypt's certbot.

Run

sudo apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx

You can install the Certbot nginx plugin with the following commands:

add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
apt update
apt install python-certbot-nginx

I was trying to create let'sencrypt certificate using certbot for my sub-domain and had following issue. Command :

ubuntu@localhost:~$ certbot --nginx -d my_subdomain.website.com

Issue :

The requested nginx plugin does not appear to be installed

Solution:

Ubuntu 20+

ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx

Earlier Versions

ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get install python-certbot-nginx

You will need to replace

apt install python-certbot-nginx

apt install python3-certbot-nginx
