Ubuntu 20.04 certbot error about lemmy-ansible

[christopher-conley]

@DatGuyMcCaully @gribodyr

It's due to the version of urllib3 distributed with the "python3-pip" in Ubuntu 20.04 combined with the version that the docker-compose pip module wants. The version of urllib3 that gets installed alongside "python3-pip" is 1.25.8, whereas the docker-compose pip module wants something that is >=1.26.0. When the docker-compose pip module gets installed, to meet that requirement, pip installs a newer version of urllib3 which seems to be bugged (see here), which is causing the certbot error.

I amended my existing PR #88 to fix this as well. I tested it out on an Ubuntu 20.04 droplet in DigitalOcean and was able to reproduce the original issue, and the latest commit I made to my forked lemmy-ansible repo deployed a lemmy instance successfully.

worked like a charm.

I would urge to re-open this issue as the issue continues to persist. Using a potentially non-maintained fork that is not merged into the main branch is not really a good option.

Same for me. Running Ubuntu Linux (ubuntu 20.04 with all package upgrades), fresh install of Linux,.

I googled your error, its an old python3 version on your system:

Installed the following version of python on 20.04: python3, python3.8, python3.10 python3.11 and uncommited the following in the ansible.cfg:
#interpreter_python= /usr/bin/python3
None worked.

Also, spun up a new azure server with Ubuntu 22.04 and still running into the same issues.

Great work @christopher-conley !
I must second @Nolram12345 that this issue is re-opened, and that the required changes gets fixed on the main branch.
