I’ve follwed the step Allow SSL / HTTPS for your Discourse Docker setup and place the ssl.crt and ssl.key at standalone/ssl but this error happen nginx: [emerg] BIO_new_file("/shared/ssl/ssl.crt") failed (SSL: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:fopen('/shared/ssl/ssl.cr…

I have the same problem nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/shared/ssl/ssl.crt": BIO_new_file() failed (SSL: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:fopen('/shared/ssl/ssl.crt','r') error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file)

Is something preventing you from using Let’s Encrypt?

we have our own certificate until 2022

Does that prevent you from using Let’s Encrypt? Normally it wouldn’t. You can probably still get a certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
