You ran a setup script, as root, without looking at it and are upset it installed things? Shouldn't you be more upset that you didn't take the time to look at what it does before running it as root?
- noja 11y agoIt's standard behaviour for a script to exit with an error if it can't find the dependencies it needs to run.
- aroch 11y agoletsencrypt-auto is specifically there to setup and update the entire environment for letsencrypt to work. If you don't run it as root, you get prompted to elevate. If you're at all concerned about what setup its doing, the code is eminently readable and a few seconds of perusal would direct you to the bootstrapping scripts (https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt/tree/master/bootstrap https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt/tree/master/boots...) Running letsencrypt-auto is no different than running one of the curl | sh installers; they serve the same purpose. Getting you up and running under the assumption that you may be missing bits and pieces.
- noja 11y agoI'm not concerned about what it is doing, I am complaining that the script works differently to what I expect.
