FreeBSD instructions suggest old package version

[schoen]

Hi!

Per a message at

https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/error-in-freebsd-certbot-install-instructions/171129/2

the Certbot website is suggesting an old package name (py37-certbot) in

https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=apache&os=freebsd

Oddly enough, the website build at

https://github.com/certbot/website-builds/blob/master/lets-encrypt/freebsd-apache.html

shows the current name (py38-certbot). Is it possible that some documentation updates were lost in the migration to the internally-hosted version of the website, or something?

@zoracon not sure if you got notified, another one for E&D.

Another issue I have noticed is that if you select a webserver (e.g ngijnx) + FreeBSD:

• https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=nginx&os=freebsd
• It does not prompt you to install the appropriate authenticator plugin e.g. py38-certbot-nginx
• The instructions do not prompt you to run certbot --nginx, whereas the instructions for Ubuntu do.

This issue can be future-proofed by changing the command as follows.

On this page of the documentation: https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=other&os=freebsd

pkg install py37-certbot

Becomes:

pkg install security/py-certbot

This will choose the correct pyXX-cerbot and all its dependencies for installation. Here is the output from this command:

# pkg install security/py-certbot

This has been fixed.

@bmw Awesome. Thanks!

It looks like there is now a typo:

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm still trying to figure out this new CMS I just got access to 🙃

That's fixed now too.

No worries. It looks like the change didn't propagate yet: https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=other&os=freebsd
