• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Resolved Manual Use of Certbot in Plesk Onyx?

NateWon

Basic Pleskian
Hello how can I manually call certbot? Ive had a look around and can't locate the letsencrypt/cerbot files? Attempting to simply enable SSL on mail.domain.com scripts. I have a proxy in the way for www, so don't want to have to script around the certbot on the proxy for www requests.

i.e.

find / -type f -name "certbot-auto"

shows nothing? Where can I find the application?

I also can't see the file or any familar directoris /live etc in amoungst these folders

find / -type f -name "letsencrypt"

/usr/share/doc/letsencrypt
/var/log/letsencrypt
/var/lib/letsencrypt
/opt/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt
/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/letsencrypt
/opt/psa/admin/share/modules/letsencrypt
/opt/psa/admin/htdocs/modules/letsencrypt
 
Hi NateWon,

the Plesk Let's Encrypt extension is not the same as using the "certbot-auto" from Let's Encrypt itself. If you desire the whole command list for the Plesk Let's Encrypt Extension, you would use for example:
Code:
/opt/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/venv/bin/letsencrypt --help all


and the commands over the command line would then start with:
Code:
/opt/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/venv/bin/letsencrypt

Thank you,

So I'd assume using the wrapper would apply the certificate to a matching domain if run manually, looks like I might need to find some more information on the extension.
 
I was able to install certbot in addition to the lets-encrypt extension and map it to my own defined port, works well as would be expected.
