Can you run magick --version as discourse user? For me the output is: Version: ImageMagick 7.1.1-45 Q16-HDRI x86\_64 3cbce5696:20250308 [https://imagemagick.org](https://imagemagick.org) Copyright: (C) 1999 ImageMagick Studio LLC License: [ImageMagick | License](https://imagemagick.org/script/license.php) Features: Cipher DPC HDRI Modules OpenMP(4.5) Delegates (built-in): bzlib cairo djvu fftw fontconfig freetype gslib gvc heic jbig jng jp2 jpeg jxl lcms lqr ltdl lzma openexr pangocairo png ps raqm raw rsvg tiff webp wmf… Well I am not forcing Discourse to ssl because I want to let my haproxy do it because haproxy passtrough does not work with http protocol to redirect GET requests, and i am handling multiple websites so i need http protocol in haproxy, so it requires ssl handling on haproxy side. I would like to avoid double ssl gateway. So haproxy (on one lxc) listens 443: redirect to 8080 (no ssl) to my discourse container (lxc). Curious is that the nginx-config-sample given in the discourse folder is configured without ssl and port 80, so it should work well, but i get the above mentioned problems. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/deploy-discourse-without-docker/351194)._
