I can’t post anything above this, sadly, since I don’t seem to be able to scroll in the terminal (which used to be able to).

My app.yml:

As you can see, my LetsEncrypt account email is commented out, since I don’t use it (I think my domain provider puts domain protections with https on their domains already), so why do I encounter this issue?

Is this a new setup or an existing setup that you’re facing issues with?

If you don’t need ssl, you will need to disable automatic SSL provisioning from within your app.yml template (it should be at the top). You can comment out these lines as such

#  - "templates/web.ssl.template.yml"
#  - "templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml"

This is an existing setup.

I’ll try it and get back to you on this.

Thanks!
