Hello!
I want to use certbot for creating certificates for any domain I use.
When I start certbot with this command
root@pc4-svp:~# certbot certonly
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

How would you like to authenticate with the ACME CA?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Spin up a temporary webserver (standalone)
2: Place files in webroot directory (webroot)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select the appropriate number [1-2] then [enter] (press 'c' to cancel): c
Could not choose appropriate plugin: authenticator could not be determined or is not installed
authenticator could not be determined or is not installed


I can choose to authenticate either standalone or webroot.

With standalone I need to ensure that no webservice is running during execution.
Therefore I would prefer webroot. However I need the webroot directory then.

What do you recommend?

standalone (PVE does not run a web server on port 80)
