Expired NC certificate

I was on NC 15.0.2, upgraded to 15.0.5 but still see this issue. When I run
$sudo certbot renew, i get:

Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing…
Could not choose appropriate plugin: The manual plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: PluginError(‘An authentication script must be provided with --manual-auth-hook when using the manual plugin non-interactively.’,)
Attempting to renew cert (DNS.DNSNAME.COM) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/DNS.DNSNAME.COM.conf produced an unexpected error: The manual plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: PluginError(‘An authentication script must be provided with --manual-auth-hook when using the manual plugin non-interactively.’,). Skipping.

I check the version by running,
$apt list certbot and get:

Listing… Done
certbot/now 0.28.0-1+ubuntu18.04.1+certbot+4 all [installed,local]
python3-certbot/now 0.28.0-1+ubuntu18.04.1+certbot+4 all [installed,local]

I understand this is the correct version.

Is this the correct solution?

[SOLVED] Let's Encrypt validation is reaching end of life

Basically there are 3 steps to do and first one - upgrade to version 0.28 you already did. Steps to do: Remove any explicit references to tls-sni-01 in your renewal configuration: sudo sh -c "sed -i.bak -e 's/^\(pref_challs.*\)tls-sni-01\(.*\)/\1http-01\2/g' /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/*; rm -f /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/*.bak" Do a full renewal dry run: sudo certbot renew --dry-run If the dry run succeeds, and your Certbot version is 0.28 or higher, you’re good to go! No further action sh…

Thanks for your help!

Update;

I tried the steps in the linked URL but still get:

Any guidance?

Could not choose appropriate plugin:

First of all try to specify your HTTP server, like apache (--apache) or ngnix. Please refer to

User Guide — Certbot 0.31.0.dev0 documentation

Also use key --dry-run to test your configuration, otherwise you could hit limits and be banned on server for a few hours.
