Another instance of Certbot is already running (Letsencrypt)

by @thinkcyber — April 19, 2018 in letsencrypt / Ubuntu

If it is not running, check whether there are .certbot.lock files in your system.

find / -type f -name ".certbot.lock"

If there are, you can remove them:

find / -type f -name ".certbot.lock" -exec rm {} \;
