For example, when downloading acme.sh, it often hangs due to network issues. Optimization plan:

1. Consider bundling this script (even if it’s not the latest version)
2. Do not interrupt the entire build process; instead, provide a quick command to copy it in from outside the container for fixing the issue after the build.

Yes, very helpful. Thank you.

It would be even better if we could add a `DISCOURSE_ACME_DOWNLOAD_URL` variable, so it can be overridden in `app.yml` without worrying about `git pull` conflicts.

```plaintext
env:
  DISCOURSE_FORCE_HTTPS: true
  # add DISCOURSE_ACME_DOWNLOAD_URL
  DISCOURSE_ACME_DOWNLOAD_URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/3.0.6/acme.sh
run:
  - exec:
      cmd:
        - curl "$DISCOURSE_ACME_DOWNLOAD_URL" > /opt/acme.sh
        - chmod +x /opt/acme.sh
  - file:
      path: "/usr/local/bin/configure-letsencrypt"
      chmod: "+x"
      contents: |
        #!/bin/bash
        touch /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
        LETSENCRYPT_DIR="/shared/letsencrypt"
        install -d -m 0755 -g root -o root $LETSENCRYPT_DIR
        cd /opt

```
