Hi,

I was following this guide - https://gorails.com/guides/free-ssl-with-rails-and-nginx-using-let-s-encrypt - and i got past the error of

Package 'python-virtualenv' has no installation candidate

by running

apt-get install python3-virtualenv

I still am getting this response in terminal when trying to issue the cert -

sudo: /home/deploy/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/letsencrypt: command not found

Any suggestions for me?

Thanks again for making these guides, they're great for new people like me.

I'm having an issue at the end of deployment. I get this error:

00:07 deploy:assets:precompile
01 $HOME/.rbenv/bin/rbenv exec bundle exec rake assets:precompile
01 rake aborted!
01 URI::InvalidURIError: bad URI(is not URI?): postgresql://deploy:nicetry@127.0.0.1/my-api-prod

Is there an issue with me using rails as API only mode? If so, I tried this according to a github issue I found:

In Capfile you add these lines (but it fails on migration after getting thru precompile) -

removed "require 'capistrano/rails'"

require 'capistrano/bundler'
require 'capistrano/rails/migrations'

I'm wondering if there's some general knowledge I'm missing that's preventing me from having a successful deployment. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

SOLVED: ok, just in case anyone else runs into this issue it's because i had special characters in my postgresql password. you can escape them or remove them.

additionally, since i was running an api i definitely had to make those changes to my capfile i listed above.
