Describe the bug
Starting nginx proxy manager on my debian running in docker works fine. Has 10 proxy host and 1 certificate requested via DNSMulti ipv64.
When i try to copy my complete configuration files to my raspberry pi, also running it in docker i get an error during start which seems to be related to the DNSMulti configuration of the certificate. Starting blank works fine, but with my configuration copied i get the following error during start. The same applies when requesting a new certificate right after a fresh start of the container without configuration.

For anyone with the same issue on Raspberry Pi (OS) or arm64. I am using the following workaround, which works for me.
Create and use a Dockerfile to startup nginx with the following content:

FROM docker.io/jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget curl python3-dev
RUN wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.1.linux-arm64.tar.gz
RUN tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.22.1.linux-arm64.tar.gz
RUN rm go1.22.1.linux-arm64.tar.gz
ENV PATH="/usr/local/go/bin:${PATH}"

The issue seems to be that neither go, nor python3 is installed in the image which this Dockerfile solves. The issuance of an certificate took a very long time for me, so be patient. Probably because of the very long installation time of the certbot dns multi plugin.

I can confirm that your solution is working on a RPI4. Thanks a lot!

Did not work for me. I still get the go error unfortunately.

[AlexKusnezov]

having the same with dns_multi_provider = ipv64

[suhlatwork]

Issue #4529 appears to be the same.

The solution from #4408 (comment) is in principle still working but requires a more recent version of the Go compiler (https://go.dev/dl/go1.24.5.linux-arm64.tar.gz worked for me).

Seems GoLang does not come preinstalled on the nginx image. The steps described here were the solution! 🎉
Keep in mind to increase resources like RAM and CPU temporarily.

apt install golang
pip install --no-build-isolation --no-cache-dir certbot-dns-multi
