Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/860

I have a setup using the digitalocean DNS challenge to get SSL certs from letsencrypt, specifically a wildcard cert for my domain, which is only available when using the DNS challenge.

I could generate the cert using nginx-proxy-manager without any problems, however I couldn't renew the certs. The webui just gives me a "timeout" error, in the docker logs for the container I found the following:

[2/3/2021] [8:58:38 AM] [SSL      ] › ✖  error     Error: Command failed: /usr/bin/certbot renew --non-interactive --quiet --config "/etc/letsencrypt.ini" --preferred-challenges "dns,http" --disable-hook-validation  
Renewal configuration file /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/npm-2.conf (cert: npm-2) produced an unexpected error: 'Namespace' object has no attribute 'dns_digitalocean_credentials'. Skipping.
0 renew failure(s), 1 parse failure(s)
    at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:308:12)
    at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:314:20)
    at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:1051:16)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:287:5)

I have absolutely no idea where to start debugging, as the issuing of the certificate was no problem at all. Any help would be really appreciated!

Does your issue still persist?
Could you add what the content of your configuration file /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/npm-2.conf is? Does it by any chance include any line with standalone_supported_challenges? (See this certbot issue)
