Missing certbot-auto

[shunkica]

I am trying to use this role on a Rocky Linux 8 system but the following error is thrown:

TASK [geerlingguy.certbot : Ensure certbot-auto is executable.] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "file (/opt/certbot/certbot-auto) is absent, cannot continue", "path": "/opt/certbot/certbot-auto", "state": "absent"}

These files are present in /opt/certbot:

certbot-auto has been removed from the certbot repo

Also it is unclear to me why it even tries to install from source since my ansible_os_family is 'RedHat'

The default install configured in the role is package. So I think that somewhere you must have configured

certbot_install_method: source

The source install seems to be broken, there no longer is this executable certbot-auto. This executable is deprecated see https://eff-certbot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#certbot-auto-deprecated.

I'm getting this issue on Amazon Linux 2023. I'm doing install with source. Install with package didn't work, as it had some conflict with cryptography module which I couldn't figure out. I didn't try the snap installation.

Just hit this so I moved to the package method.

based on docs:

The packaged version also provides as simple service timer combo, maybe this could also be used here.
