You need more deps, its Not an issue per Default. The most is installed, some Special need more deps

This Script is from npm himself. Not from us

Maybe. But shouldn't they be installed by the install script? I bet they are in the docker image.

I would swear certbot-dns-multi was included in the script which supports 100+ DNS providers, but I see it was removed 2 weeks ago. Maybe we can add that again and put a note in the json pointing to it (instead of suggesting to use /app/scripts/install-certbot-plugins)? Would prevent a lot of github issues with npm + certbot...

HI, just installed nginx Proxy Manager by this script in my PVE as a new LXC. Did not change any configs and wanted to configure via webinterface, so I went for a certificate. As I wanted to use a "*.mydomain.net" wildcard, i went for DNS challenge.
My domain is being hosted at INWX, so i filled out the corresponding forms. I knew that DNS was set up correctly as I get certificates without any problem on other instances.

Long story short, it gave me a headache and this error:
Encountered exception during recovery: certbot.errors.PluginError: Unable to determine base domain for _acme-challenge.mydomain.net using names: ['_acme-challenge.mydomain.net', 'mydomain.net', 'net']. Unable to determine base domain for _acme-challenge.mydomain.net using names: ['_acme-challenge.mydomain.net, 'mydomain.net', 'net']. Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /tmp/letsencrypt-log/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

I will not bother you with what I tried, but when I checked in the lxc i found out that the corresponding certbot-dns-inwx was not installed after all.

A pip install certbot-dns-inws ran into

Attempting uninstall: cffi Found existing installation: cffi 1.17.1 error: uninstall-no-record-file × 
Cannot uninstall cffi 1.17.1 ╰─> The package's contents are unknown: no RECORD file was found for cffi.
hint: The package was installed by debian. You should check if it can uninstall the package.

Solution:

pip install --ignore-installed certbot-dns-inwx

After this, retrieval of the certificate from the web UI was not a problem anymore. But wow, it really gave me a headache.
Hope this helps someone!

Main problem seems to be "Cannot import 'setuptools.build_meta'" but setuptools are installed.
