Yes, that was it!

Until now I had `ProxyPass /.well-known !` which I changed to `ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge !`

Maybe this should be added to the howto (which I’m unable to find at the moment…) for setting up self-hosted Discourse instances?

```plaintext
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge !
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

```

Thank you guys for being so patient with me. 🙂
