I am failing to find a way to configure an SSL certificate for my droplet running on Centos 9 and an Apache server (version: 2.4.51). I tried to follow this tutorial but all the package managers I have searched (yum, snap & dnf) do not have the required python3-certbot-apache package nor any python*-certbot-apache package (Ofcourse, the turorial was meant for Centos 8 but I can’t find any reference to securing centos 9). Only snap has the certbot package but that’s not enough to help me at least just obtain an SSL certificate.
Any form of help will be greatly appreciated.
Oooh, just incase this might have valueable information for the bright minds, here are the error logs I get if I try to run, for example, sudo certbot --apache:
