General

Why is the certbot version requirement so high, can't I just use my old version 0.x.x?

The integration to plugins has been changed on the side of certbot, therefore the old certbot versions require a completely different usage when using the plugin. To keep the maintainability of only one plugin integration, such older versions are not supported by this plugin.

Errors

I get an error message when using certbot that there are version conflicts and my certbot version is too old, how can I fix this?

You are using a too old version of certbot. Please update your version to at least 1.7.0 to fix the problem.

I get a "Fatal Python error: pyinit_main: can't initialize time" when using the Docker image, how can I fix the problem?

You are using an outdated version of libseccomp which is causing the error.

There are two ways to solve this problem:

1. Update libseccomp to at least version v2.4.3.
2. NOT RECOMMENDED: You use the argument "--privileged" in the docker command. However, since this way you remove the actual isolation of the Docker container, this option is not recommended.
