I am now deploying a new environment. My domain name and domain name certificate have been prepared, but how do I cancel your built-in ssl certificate function during deployment?
Hi Guo!
I believe you can skip it by leaving the let’s encrypt email blank when asked by the setup script.

ok, i try again.
However it’s very recommended to use let’s encrypt.
See this topic for more information on why and how to setup your own certificate.

I understand, this is the case, my own domain name already has an ssl certificate, or can I replace my own certificate file into the template? In this way, I don’t need to run an nginx in front of the discourse service to do ssl?
I believe you can just put your email on the let’s encrypt prompt and it will work.
Discourse uses nginx in the container that it builds; you do want that nginx. You do not need to have another nginx in front of the discourse container. The standard install will request and maintain a certificate from let’s encrypt.
If you really love your certificate that you have already, and want to spend extra time learning a hard way to manage certificates and are sure that you will remember to manually update your existing certificate, you can follow the guide linked above.
