I bought a PositiveSSL from Namecheap today and followed the instructions at: [immagine] Allow SSL / HTTPS for your Discourse Docker setup Self-Hosting This guide is likely out of date as there are now very few reasons not to use the built-in Let’s Encrypt cert…

I solved the issue by removing the url redirect. The bare redirect was creating a loop due to nginx. Hope this helps someone in future. A big thank you to @cpradio and @fefrei for their help!

Can you post your app.yml here, without the credentials for SMTP?

@cpradio I have 2 TXT records (one SPF and one DKIM for sending mail through Sparkpost) and 1 URL redirect record. However, everything was resolving nicely before the SSL change.

Can you tell us which hostname your installation should be running at?

@fefrei here are the screenshots: [immagine] [immagine] I was using Google Compute before. I have tried again with DO, but no luck..

You just pasted your sparkpost password :sadpanda: Please change that password as immediately.

In the meantime, it looks like @cpradio was right in suspecting a DNS problem. I get SERVFAIL when resolving your hostname – both with and without the WWW.

@fefrei Oops have corrected it. Should I try re-issuing the certificate or should I try fixing the DNS records?

DNS should be your first priority – as long as this is broken, your server doesn’t even have a chance to present any SSL certificate :slight_smile:

Hmm, the only A record I have is pointed to the DO droplet. I will try with Namecheap support and report back. Thank you guys!\ [immagine]
