Porkbun needs to push a new release of their certbot plugin to make it compatible with certbot 5.0.0 (update their dependency requirements).

When certbot got updated to 5.0.0 recently, most newer porkbun plugin versions were deemed incompatible by pip and it installed a really old version instead.

Thanks.

Short-term fix is ti use image: lscr.io/linuxserver/swag:4.2.0

[aptalca]

Yes, SWAG moved onto certbot 5.0.0. Porkbun plugin didn't. Nothing we can do. You can use any tag below 5.0.0

[Bernie-McGee]

This should be resolved now.
