Lets Encrypt 403 Error When Installing certbot-auto on legacy (EOL) SNI is required error

Good day,

I am trying to create a test server with an EOL set up - Ubuntu 14.04, php5.5.

I am trying to install certbot-auto 1.9.0. I understand this is EOL and really shouldn't be used. However, we do have servers which are still using it successfully with little issues.

When I am trying to install certbot-auto 1.9.0 I am receiving the following error. Is there anyway to get around this issue?

Installing Python packages...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/tmp.KuBN6fzZPB/pipstrap.py", line 182, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/tmp/tmp.KuBN6fzZPB/pipstrap.py", line 163, in main
    for path, digest in PACKAGES]

According to this answer on the LetsEncrypt discussion board, it's not possible to use Certbot/certbot-auto at all with Ubuntu 14.04 anymore (likely because Certbot tries to update itself, and is no longer able to on Ubuntu 14.04).

acme.sh is a different LetsEncrypt client that possibly works.
