Hey guys,
I followed this article:

See also: 2023-04-10 @pfaffman says: This is left here mostly for historical purposes. So you’d like to enable SSL for your Docker-based Discourse setup? Let’s do it! This guide assumes you used all the [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) defaults – a container configuration file at/var/discourse/containers/app.yml and Discourse docker is installed at: /var/discourse Buy a SS…

This is the error I get: nginx: [emerg] SSL\_CTX\_use\_PrivateKey\_file(“/shared/ssl/ssl.key”) failed (SSL: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM\_read\_bio:no start line:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY error:140B0009:SSL routines:SSL\_CTX\_use\_PrivateKey\_file:PEM lib)
Any idea?
My website also doesn’t load at all.

This was simpler than what I thought. if anyone got the same problem, let me know.

Why don’t you share your solution here with everyone?

Well, I was about to update this. Its actually not fixed. The SSL works fine but I am getting an error for RSS.

When I access [https://forums.7host.ir/latest.rss](https://forums.7host.ir/latest.rss) directly, my browser confirms it’s OK. Perhaps that site caches feeds for a time?

The problem is not with feed, its with the SSL installation. that’s why validator cannot verify the SSL before receiving the feed content.
