Let’s Encrypt provides you with a free certificate, which is how your site would be accessible via HTTPS after installation.

It’s possible that your re-installations have used up your 7 day issuance quota for `skuvault.social`. If that’s the case your only options would be:

- Run without HTTPS (bad, don’t do this)
- Wait a week
- Use a different domain for setup (this will create headaches down the line)
- Purchase a certificate (don’t do this)
