Hi Sved,
I couldn't reproduce the problem you faced. Can you please provide the exact version of gluu-server you're using?
I tried t use this deb: bionic-devel/gluu-server-3.1.6_1-12~bionic+Ub18.04_amd64.deb and I faced different certbot error.
Since, Bionic gluu-server binaries are still under development, so I would request you to try the version 4.0 as well.

Thanks
