Has anyone successfully used the version of certbot in

to install https certificates from letsencrypt on Apache?
The reason for asking is that I haven't :)
Yes, it works well for me.
I used the Apache plugin to automatically reconfigure my vhosts, which
worked pretty much correctly. This generated new HTTPS versions of the
vhosts and added a redirect to the HTTP version.
Using the webroot mode is also easy, as it works with any web server
that serves files from the given webroot directory. You can then make
the HTTPS modifications to your web server's config after the
certificate's been retrieved.
The package automatically sets up a renewal command in /etc/cron.d/certbot.
It doesn't help that the version there is older
than the one covered by
the documentation at <https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html> - there's
no 'certificates' command, for example.
I don't think there are docs published for the older version, even on
the older readthedocs site, however cross-referencing with
https://github.com/certbot/certbot/blob/v0.9.3/docs/using.rst may help.
In any case, I think the missing "certificates" command is probably the
main difference from the current version - there's no certificate list
command in 0.9.3.
