Letsencrypt not renewing

Still no joy. I tried installing netcat inside the docker container and stopping nginx, but apart from suppressing the “install netcat” warning it didn’t help:

I’m changing the server name to “DAOU” so that I don’t trip the too-many-links warning.

Anyone have a clue? In a normal system I could try a different cert-renewal scheme, like the one I wrote that works on all my other servers, but here I’m stuck with acme unless I move completely outside the discourse ecosystem and run it manually.
