In order to use Nginx plugin, you need to ensure you installed the certbot from the official Ubuntu PPA:
You could remove the
letsencrypt package
apt remove letsencrypt and install the certbot this way:
- sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install certbot
- sudo apt install python-certbot-nginx
After the last step, running certbot --nginxshould work as you expect it.
