Description Milan Kerslager 2020-02-23 21:18:56 UTC 
When certbot package is installed, python3-certbot.noarch is installed but no python3-certbot-apache.noarch so there are no plugins to edit the config files for httpd in the current EPEL 8 repository.

# certbot
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Certbot doesn't know how to automatically configure the web server on this system. However, it can still get a certificate for you. Please run "certbot certonly" to do so. You'll need to manually configure your web server to use the resulting certificate.

Comment 1 Felix Schwarz 2020-02-23 21:45:41 UTC 
I think this is a basically the same issue as bug 1795666 and yes, I am aware of that. Unfortunately the previous Fedora maintainer seems to have no time anymore to maintain the certbot stack.

I'm familiarizing myself with all the scripts (which are necessary to manage ~20 packages in 5 branches!) but it requires some time. I'd like to manage the stack the same as the previous maintainer in the hope that others might find it easier to take over. Right now I think I'm almost ready to push updates to the plugins to rawhide. Afterwards I'll trigger updates for all Fedora versions and then merge stuff into EPEL 8.
