The Devuan instructions say to use the apt packages. If you go back in time: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20200513114445&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;certbot.eff.org&#x2F;lets-encrypt&#x2F;debianbuster-nginx" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20200513114445&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;certbot.e...</a> they used to say use apt packages. Not sure why they changed.

Installing certbot with apt on Debian 10.5 is a breeze.<p>I was struck back to read that the official certbot documentation actually recommends installing snapd and _not_ use the apt packages. In fact it will ask you to &quot;Remove any Certbot OS packages&quot;.<p>Why on earth would they do such a thing?<p>Does that mean the apt packages won&#x27;t do the job?<p>Serious question, please don&#x27;t start a flamewar. We have the Ubuntu Chromium&#x2F;snapd thread(s) for that.
