After a using mailinbox for over a year over multiple releases with no problems at all my letsencrypt certificates stopped updating. Using the mailinabox admin panel I tried the manual provision option and received the “something went wrong” error.
I hadn’t updated yet to v0.21c yet so I ran the update to see if it would solve the problem. It didn’t and the installation process ended in this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “management/ssl_certificates.py”, line 807, in

ImportError: No module named ‘OpenSSL’
Checking the forums I couldn’t find my specific circumstances but did find the recommendation to uninstall/reinstall of pyOpenSSL when having letsencrypt certificate problems so I did that:
sudo pip3 uninstall pyOpenSSL
sudo pip3 install pyOpenSSL
Next I re-ran the certificate provisioning from within the mailinabox admin panel and everything resolved nicely.
(And thanks for Mail-in-a-Box, its great!!)
