<p>Following the advice obtained here, I am trying to get a
LetsEncrypt certificate.</p>
<p>These are the instructions:</p>
<p>Step 1:<br>

moz-do-not-send="true">https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd</a><br>

Step 2:<br>

moz-do-not-send="true">https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/centosrhel7-apache</a></p>
<p>My problem is this error message:<br>
<br>
# snap install --classic certbot</p>
<p>error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount
squashfs image using "squashfs": mount:<br>
/tmp/sanity-squashfs-881328484: failed to setup loop
device: No such file or directory</p>
<p>Apparently, RedHat/CentOS are not supporters of snap.<br>
</p>
<p>TIA</p>
<p>OS: CentOS 7</p>

<p>Thanks to Leonardo and Michael,<br>
</p>
<p>I have made some progress. The snaps application is not
supported by RedHat/CentOS. The solution is simple, just use:<br>
<br>
# yum install certbot</p>
<p>The new error message is this:</p>
<p># certbot certonly --apache</p>
<p>Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log<br>
Could not choose appropriate plugin: The requested apache plugin
does not appear to be installed<br>
The requested apache plugin does not appear to be installed</p>
<p>I am trying to find which is the "requested apache plugin". The
log mentions "authenticator".<br>
</p>
<p>I am hoping that an Apache Certificate will be useful for
Dovecot.</p>
