Describe the bug
Unable to create SSL certification.

Nginx Proxy Manager Version

2.12.4

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Log into NPM
2. Go to SSL certs
3. Create SSL cert with Lets Encrypt
4. enter domain name and wildcard domain name
5. Enable "Use DNS challenge"
6. Select cloudflare and paste in token
7. accept TOS and create

Expected behavior

Cert created, but I get error message:

CommandError: ERROR: Cannot install certbot-dns-cloudflare==4.0.0 and cloudflare==4.0.* because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.
ERROR: ResolutionImpossible: for help visit https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/topics/dependency-resolution/#dealing-with-dependency-conflicts

Terminal shows:

Additional context

YAML used:

services:
  app:
    image: jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:2.12.4
    ports:
      - '30021:80'
      - '30020:81'
      - '30022:443'
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:

      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt

I have also tried previous versions and I am still receiving the same kind of errors.
I have completely deleted my container and redeployed with no success.

It also made the nginx server to spike on DNS queries to the domains, pypi.org and files.pythonhosted.org.

I also found out about this due to a massive spike in dns requests.

Confirming the issue.

[tn1-au]

also confirming, i have the same issue.
cheers.

[ZEUSGMJ]

Same issue here too!

[lscholte]

Also hitting this. Had to downgrade to 2.12.3 to stop it from happening.

Same issue as #4606

Also hitting this. Had to downgrade to 2.12.3 to stop it from happening.

Sadly I get this error on 2.12.3

CommandError: Saving debug log to /tmp/letsencrypt-log/letsencrypt.log
Error determining zone_id: 6003 Invalid request headers. Please confirm that you have supplied valid Cloudflare API credentials. (Did you copy your entire API token/key? To use Cloudflare tokens, you'll need the python package cloudflare>=2.3.1. This certbot is running cloudflare 2.19.4)
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /tmp/letsencrypt-log/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

EDIT: I just used a global API key and that allowed me to create an SSL cert.

[philosophics]

Also got the same issue while it also destroyed the db. Can confirm, downgrading to 2.12.3 brought it back up and usable again.

[GD2021]

我也遇到了这个问题。

You can check the fix here:

Also hitting this. Had to downgrade to 2.12.3 to stop it from happening.

Confirming this helped alleviate the issue for me until a proper solution is provided in a future update.
