Describe the bug
Trying to create a new SSL Certificate using LetsEncrypt and the Porkbun DNS provider fails, with the error:

Error: Command failed: certbot certonly --config "/etc/letsencrypt.ini" --work-dir "/tmp/letsencrypt-lib" --logs-dir "/tmp/letsencrypt-log" --cert-name "npm-15" --agree-tos --email "REDACTED" --domains "REDACTED" --authenticator dns-porkbun --dns-porkbun-credentials "/etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-15"
usage: 
  certbot [SUBCOMMAND] [options] [-d DOMAIN] [-d DOMAIN] ...

Certbot can obtain and install HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificates.  By default,
it will attempt to use a webserver both for obtaining and installing the
certificate. 
certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: --dns-porkbun-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-15

I've since switched my DNS to Cloudflare, as that seems more widely supported. Therefore I cannot update with any more information on this issue.

@flobere according to https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/pull/1099 support for that has been integrated since 2021, unless I'm not understanding.

Just giving my input, it should automatically download the porkbun plugin, and run the appropriate command.
Not sure why it wouldn't install for you, but using the latest version it's working for me.
The only "issue" is that the certbot with porkbun plugin waits for the 600 second propagation delay to complete. Since the timeout is so long, nginx proxy manager UI displays a red error bar with no error contained. However, after the 600 seconds the DNS record shows up.
