    Some plugins failed to install - Resolved

Issue

The main issue was that the container could not connect to any external services using HTTPS/SSL, which prevented it from downloading required dependencies during the bootstrap process. This resulted in the following error logs:

Solution

Since the container was unable to fetch the required packages from PyPI due to SSL issues, I had to manually download the dependencies from another machine, transfer them to the container, and install them locally.
Step 1: Download Required Packages on Balu

Run the following commands on Balu to download the necessary packages:
pip download --no-cache-dir --dest cloudflare_pkg "cloudflare==2.19.*" "certbot-dns-cloudflare==3.2.0" --python-version 3.11.2 pyyaml --only-binary=:all:
Step 2: Transfer the Downloaded Packages to the Container

Copy the cloudflare_pkg folder into the container:
docker cp cloudflare_pkg nginx-proxy-manager-app-1:/app/
Step 3: Enter the Container

Access the container shell:
docker exec -it nginx-proxy-manager-app-1 /bin/bash
Step 4: Install Packages from the Local Directory

Inside the container, install the downloaded packages without accessing PyPI:
pip install --no-index --find-links=/app/cloudflare_pkg cloudflare==2.19.* pyyaml certbot-dns-cloudflare==3.2.0
Step 5: Re-run the Failing Command

Once the packages are installed, re-run the command that was failing during the container bootstrap:
pip install --no-cache-dir cloudflare==2.19.* acme==$(certbot --version | grep -Eo '[0-9](\.[0-9]+)+') certbot-dns-cloudflare==$(certbot --version | grep -Eo '[0-9](\.[0-9]+)+') -vvv
Summary

By manually downloading and transferring the necessary packages to the container, we successfully bypassed the connectivity issues with PyPI and completed the installation process.
