Describe the bug

certbot renew does not renew certificates where the site returns a 403 due a restricted access (whitlisted only one public IP).
Manual renewal is working.

Nginx Proxy Manager Version

v2.9.12

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to docker exec -it container_name /bin/bash
  2. certbot renew
  3. public domains work just fine, private do not

Expected behavior

automatic renewal should just work as fine as it does with the manual renewal

Screenshots

Operating System

Ubuntu 18.04 via Xen Orchestra

Additional context

what does the manual renewal do different?

Thanks!
