[alexzaitsev]

My operating system is (include version):

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

I installed Certbot with (certbot-auto, OS package manager, pip, etc):

certbot-auto

I ran this command and it produced this output:

second@softcraft:/opt/certbot$ ./certbot-auto certonly --standalone

Certbot's behavior differed from what I expected because:

it's failed

Here is a Certbot log showing the issue (if available):

Logs are stored in /var/log/letsencrypt by default. Feel free to redact domains, e-mail and IP addresses as you see fit.

second@softcraft:/opt/certbot$ cd /var/log/letsencrypt
