Fixes #8041 This PR makes Azure Pipeline build the DNS plugins snaps for the 3 architectures during the CI. It leverages the existing logic for building the Certbot snap in order to deploy a QEMU environment with Docker, and leverages the local PyPI index to speed up the build when installing `cffi` and `cryptography`. All DNS plugins snaps are constructed in one unique docker container, in order to save the time required to install the system dependencies upon first start of `snapcraft`, and so speed up significantly the build. Finally, all `amd64` DNS plugins snaps are built within 6 minutes. For `arm64` and `armhf`, it is around 40 mins: this is quite fast in fact, considering that 14 DNS plugins snaps are built. However, this is still an extremely heavy task to make the full 3 architectures builds, even for Azure Pipelines and its 10 parallel jobs capability. That is why I make the `arm64` and `armhf` builds be skipped for the `full-test-suite`, and let them run only for `nightly` and `release`. This means however that these builds will not be done for the release branches. If this is a problem, I can put a more elaborate suspend condition to triggers the builds in this case. All snaps are stored in the pipeline artifacts storage, making them available for publication during a `release` pipeline. The PR is set as Draft for now, because I use temporarily `pr_test-suite` to validate the packaging jobs when commits are pushed. Once the PR is ready, I will revert it back to the normal configuration (run the standard tests). * Configure a script to build DNS snaps * Focus on packaging * Trigger all architectures * Add extra index * Prepare conditional suspend * Set final suspend logic * Set final suspend value * Loop for publication * Use python3 * Clean before build * Add a test * Add test job in Azure * Preserve env * Apply normal config for pipelines * Skip QEMU jobs only for test branches * Makes snap run tests depends also on the Certbot snap build * Update .azure-pipelines/templates/jobs/packaging-jobs.yml Co-authored-by: Brad Warren <bmw@users.noreply.github.com> * Update .azure-pipelines/templates/stages/deploy-stage.yml Co-authored-by: Brad Warren <bmw@users.noreply.github.com> * More accurate way to get the plugin snap name * Integrate DNS snap tests into certbot-ci * Fixes * Update certbot-ci/snap_integration_tests/conftest.py Co-authored-by: Brad Warren <bmw@users.noreply.github.com> * Update certbot-ci/snap_integration_tests/conftest.py Co-authored-by: Brad Warren <bmw@users.noreply.github.com> * Clean an _init_.py file Co-authored-by: Brad Warren <bmw@users.noreply.github.com>
Certbot is part of EFF’s effort to encrypt the entire Internet. Secure communication over the Web relies on HTTPS, which requires the use of a digital certificate that lets browsers verify the identity of web servers (e.g., is that really google.com?). Web servers obtain their certificates from trusted third parties called certificate authorities (CAs). Certbot is an easy-to-use client that fetches a certificate from Let’s Encrypt—an open certificate authority launched by the EFF, Mozilla, and others—and deploys it to a web server.
Anyone who has gone through the trouble of setting up a secure website knows what a hassle getting and maintaining a certificate is. Certbot and Let’s Encrypt can automate away the pain and let you turn on and manage HTTPS with simple commands. Using Certbot and Let's Encrypt is free, so there’s no need to arrange payment.
How you use Certbot depends on the configuration of your web server. The best way to get started is to use our interactive guide. It generates instructions based on your configuration settings. In most cases, you’ll need root or administrator access to your web server to run Certbot.
Certbot is meant to be run directly on your web server, not on your personal computer. If you’re using a hosted service and don’t have direct access to your web server, you might not be able to use Certbot. Check with your hosting provider for documentation about uploading certificates or using certificates issued by Let’s Encrypt.
Certbot is a fully-featured, extensible client for the Let's Encrypt CA (or any other CA that speaks the ACME protocol) that can automate the tasks of obtaining certificates and configuring webservers to use them. This client runs on Unix-based operating systems.
To see the changes made to Certbot between versions please refer to our changelog.
Until May 2016, Certbot was named simply letsencrypt or
letsencrypt-auto, depending on install method. Instructions
on the Internet, and some pieces of the software, may still refer to
this older name.

How to run the client
The easiest way to install and run Certbot is by visiting certbot.eff.org, where you can find the correct instructions for many web server and OS combinations. For more information, see Get Certbot.
Understanding the client in more depth
To understand what the client is doing in detail, it's important to understand the way it uses plugins. Please see the explanation of plugins in the User Guide.

System Requirements

Current Features
- Supports multiple web servers:
- apache/2.x
- nginx/0.8.48+
- webroot (adds files to webroot directories in order to prove control of domains and obtain certs)
- standalone (runs its own simple webserver to prove you control a domain)
- other server software via third party plugins
- The private key is generated locally on your system.
- Can talk to the Let's Encrypt CA or optionally to other ACME compliant services.
- Can get domain-validated (DV) certificates.
- Can revoke certificates.
- Adjustable RSA key bit-length (2048 (default), 4096, ...).
- Can optionally install a http -> https redirect, so your site effectively runs https only (Apache only)
- Fully automated.
- Configuration changes are logged and can be reverted.
- Supports an interactive text UI, or can be driven entirely from the command line.
- Free and Open Source Software, made with Python.
