Thanks to Leonardo and Michael,
I have made some progress. The snaps application is not supported by RedHat/CentOS. The solution is simple, just use:
yum install certbot
The new error message is this:
certbot certonly --apache
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log Could not choose appropriate plugin: The requested apache plugin does not appear to be installed The requested apache plugin does not appear to be installed
I am trying to find which is the "requested apache plugin". The log mentions "authenticator".
I am hoping that an Apache Certificate will be useful for Dovecot.
Raymond,
certbot certonly --apache
just wondering: Do you have an apache webserver running on this machine? If not, run
certbot certonly --standalone
or read https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html
and don't forget to open port 80 in your firewall. letsencrypt wants to access that port.
I am hoping that an Apache Certificate will be useful for Dovecot.
you can bet :-)
