Turned on Lets Encrypt and requests are timing out

The only thing I can see in the access logs is:

217.138.11.237 - - [06/Mar/2018:15:09:04 +0000] "POST /message-bus/c2a0f3d9a16a490eb6be56bc668d6c81/poll?dlp=t HTTP/1.1" 301 185 "http://marketdiscuss.com/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 Safari/537.36"

this is a standard Digital Ocean setup droplet setup.

Config details match the instructions, I can see the .key and .cert files just fine in

shared/ssl/*{key, cert}

Ran discourse-setup and says everything ran successfully, rebuilds and the docker container is live.
I just can’t seem to hit the server by loading the page in my browser. Had this working perfectly, with people signing up and everything. But wanted the ssl for better seo I guess.

Any help would be awesome: Chrome seems to acknowledge the the cert is valid:

I am able to enter the container just fine and view logs live etc… everything seems like it’s OK, but it’s in reality :confused:

My only guess, which seems unlikely, because I don’t think that let’s encrypt would success if this were the case, is that something is blocking incoming traffic at port 443.

$ netstas -tulpn

that’s all I have

when I run ./launcher logs app I also get the following but I am not sure the following matters:

My guess, which may be wrong, is that there is a firewall, in your computer or external to it, that’s blocking incoming traffic to port 443.

What a champ! Thank you so much, exactly that! I didn’t have a firewall rule for https on port 443.

Many thanks
