Describe the bug
When requesting a new cloudflare DNS challenge for an SSL cert, I get this error:

Error: Command failed: mkdir -p /etc/letsencrypt/credentials 2> /dev/null; echo '# Cloudflare API token
dns_cloudflare_api_token = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' > '/etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-2' && chmod 600 '/etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-2'
/bin/sh: can't create /etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-2: Permission denied

    at ChildProcess.exithandler (node:child_process:402:12)
    at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:513:28)
    at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1100:16)
    at Socket. (node:internal/child_process:458:11)
    at Socket.emit (node:events:513:28)
    at Pipe. (node:net:301:12)

I tried manually creating credentials-1 and setting permissions inside the container, that is why it decided to use credentials-2.
