We're a few years behind the curve on this one, but using "master" as a
programming term is a callous practice that explicitly uses the
historical institution of slavery as a cheap, racist metaphor. Switch to
using "main", as it's the new default in git and GitHub.
Fixes#9872, originally merged in #9956.
To upgrade to python3.12 as 3.8 is reaching EOL, we need to upgrade the core snap that certbot is based on. The latest version is core24, so we're going with that for longevity. We will want to notify third party snaps to make changes as well. They can release their snaps to a version higher than certbot's, and their users will not be upgraded until the matching (or greater) version of certbot is released. They should do this as otherwise including these changes will break their plugins.
Key documents for this migration are https://snapcraft.io/docs/migrate-core22 and https://snapcraft.io/docs/migrate-core24. The discussion at https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/upgrading-classic-snap-to-core24-using-snapcraft-8-3-causes-python-3-12-errors-at-runtime/ is also relevant to understanding some changes, which may become unnecessary in future versions of snapcraft.
* Migrate primary certbot snap to core24 and python 3.12
* Migrate plugin snaps to core24 and python 3.12
* Migrate to core24 in build_remote
* Run snap tests using python 3.12
* Unstage pyvenv.cfg and set PYTHONPATH

Azure recently dropped the `docker-compose` standalone executable (aka
docker-compose v1), and since it's not receiving updates anymore, let's
get with the times and update to v2 as well.
* add some missing types
* install pkg-config
* install pkg-config for docker too
* add pkg-config to plugins
* pkg-config when cryptography may need to be built
* deps cleanup
* more comments
* more tweaks
Adrien and I added this is in https://github.com/certbot/certbot/pull/6590 in response to https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/6582 which I wrote. I now personally think these tests are way more trouble than they're worth.
In almost all cases, the versions pinned in `tools/requirements.txt` are used. The two exceptions to this that come to mind are users using OS packages and pip. In the former, the version of our dependencies is picked by the OS and do not change much on most systems. As for pip, [we only "support it on a best effort basis"](https://eff-certbot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install.html#alternative-2-pip).
Even for pip users, I'm not convinced this buys us much other than frequent test failures. We have our tests configured to error on all Python warnings and [we regularly update `tools/requirements.txt`](https://github.com/certbot/certbot/commits/master/tools/requirements.txt). Due to that, assuming our dependencies follow normal conventions, we should have a chance to fix things in response to planned API changes long before they make their way to our users. I do not think it is necessary for our tests to break immediately after an API is deprecated.
I think almost all other failures due to these tests are caused by upstream bugs. In my experience, almost all of them will sort themselves out pretty quickly. I think that responding to those that are not or planned API changes we somehow missed can be addressed when `tools/requirements.txt` is updated or when someone opens an issue. I personally don't think blocking releases or causing our nightly tests to fail is at all worth it here. I think removing this frequent cause of test failures makes things just a little bit easier for Certbot devs without costing us much of anything.
* fix cover tox envs
* make test work on all Pythons
* Remove unused import

As a follow-up to #8971, this PR removes all references to the old Zope interfaces, except the ones used to deprecate them and prepare for their removal.
In the process, some documentation and tests about the `Display` objects are simply removed since they are not relevant anymore given that they are removed from the public API.
* Cleanup some interfaces.IInstaller
* Cleanup IConfig doc
* Allmost complete removal
* Remove useless tests
* Fixes
* More cleanup
* More cleanup
* More cleanup
* Remove a non existent reference
* Better type
* Fix lint
Fixes#8661.
As mentioned in https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/8661#issuecomment-806168214, there are quite a few remaining references, but until we modify the release script, we still need those. The changes here and the list there were created by grepping for the following terms:
```
certbot-auto
cb-auto
cbauto
certbotauto
letsencrypt-auto
le-auto
leauto
letsencryptauto
LEAUTO
LE_AUTO
LETSENCRYPT_AUTO
LETSENCRYPTAUTO
CB_AUTO
CERTBOT_AUTO
CBAUTO
CERTBOTAUTO
```
* Remove references to certbot-auto from certbot code
* Remove references to LEAUTO
* Remove references to CERTBOT_AUTO
* Remove references to letsencrypt-auto
* Remove references to certbot-auto from docs and tools
* remove cli constants header files
* Remove Python virtual environment section
Fixes#8389#8584.
This PR makes the necessary modifications to officially drop Python 2 support in the Certbot project.
I did not remove the specific Python 2 compatibility branches that has been added in various places in the codebase, to reduce the size of this PR and this will be done in a future one
* Update classifiers and python_requires in setup.py
* Remove warnings about Python 2 deprecation
* Remove Azure jobs on Python 2.7
* Remove references to python 2 in documentation
* Pin dnspython to 2.1.0
* Update changelog
* Remove warning ignore
* Edit certs -> certificates in user-facing text.
To reduce confusion, we should consistently use the full term.
* Edit certs->certificates in more user-facing text.
* fix failing lint (line too long)
* fix typo

Fixes#7717
This PR adds a `--dns-server` option to the `run_acme_server` test tool, in order to provide an arbitrary DNS server to Pebble or Boulder for the integration tests.
I also take this occasion to make `run_acme_server` a real CLI tool using argparse, and set the `--server-type` (default `pebble`) option as well.
* Set --dns-server flag in run_acme_server
* Default to pebble
* Add documentation
* Configure also Boulder
This PR adds the following documentation improvements to fix https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/7958:
- Simplify building external plugins
- Separate out certbot snap instructions from plugin instructions
- Mention that dnsimple is just an example for the plugin instructions
- Mention remote build for other architectures
- Mention snap doc exists elsewhere in developer guide (`contributing.rst`)
* Set up generate_dnsplugins_all.sh for all files and parametrize snapcraft and postrefreshhook files
* Create constraints file in the generate_dnsplugins_all script
* Separate out plugin and certbot snaps and update instructions
* Add remote build instructions
* Add pointers to the README to contributing.rst
Fixes https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/8165.
I moved `prerequisites` up to the "Running a local copy of the client" `contributing.html#prerequisites` still links to information about installing Cerbot's dependencies.
I left all certbot-auto documentation that wasn't explicitly encouraging its use. I think we can rip that out once the script is deprecated.
Fixes#8071 and fixes https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/8110.
This PR migrates every job from Travis in Azure Pipeline.
This PR essentially converts the Travis jobs into Azure Pipeline with a complete iso-fonctionality (or I made a mistake). The jobs are added in the relevant existing pipelines (`main`, `nightly`, `advanced-test`, `release`). A global refactoring thanks to the templating system is done to reduce greatly the verbosity of the pipeline descriptions.
A specific feature (not present in Travis) is added: the stage `On_Failure`. Using directly the Mattermost API, it allows to notify pipeline failure in a Mattermost channel with a link to the failed pipelines without the need to authenticate to Microsoft.
See https://github.com/certbot/certbot/pull/8098#issuecomment-649873641 for the post merge actions to do at the end of this work.
Python 2 is going to get harder and harder to install locally so I don't think we should assume/require devs to have it installed.
This PR builds on #7905 so our developer guide only has people use Python 3.
