do_configure_https fails on DigitalOcean

[gcpoole]

Hello:

I've successfully configured a droplet using do_provision() but do_configure_https() fails with the following result:

do_configure_https(drop, "myURL.com", "myemail@myURL.com", TRUE)
       112 /tmp/Rtmpm2CFJY/SFELPQjWiI

Confirmed that 'marlowe.live' references one of the available IP addresses.
 The PPA has been DEPRECATED.

In addition: Warning message:
In do_configure_https(drop, "marlowe.live", "geoff@authors.ai",  :
  You should consider using a Floating IP address on your droplet for DNS. Currently you're using the ephemeral IP address of your droplet for DNS which is dangerous; as soon as you terminate your droplet your DNS records will be pointing to an IP address you no longer control. A floating IP will give you the opportunity to create a new droplet and reassign the floating IP used with DNS later.

It looks to me like the installation process for certbot has changed. Now, apparently, a snap installation is recommended...

Would you mind trying with the latest package version from github?

Yes, I installed the current version using remotes::install_git() and that worked. I have the "Plumber is Alive" message via https.

Thanks so much for developing this package! It's quite helpful!
