All the builds are failing unless I comment these lines. Then of course SSL does not get configured.

Was working fine till yeterday.

```plaintext
Uncomment these two lines if you wish to add Lets Encrypt (https)

“templates/web.ssl.template.yml”

“templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml”

```

There was a change to the ssl template this morning that might explain this. I’m running an install right now to confirm.

~~I’ll update this post in a few minutes when I see what happens on my clean install.~~

I can confirm this is a bug:
