Description
https://jippi.github.io/docker-pixelfed/customize/faq/#how-do-i-use-my-own-ssl-certificate says to name them ${APP_DOMAIN}.cert.pem and ${APP_DOMAIN}.key.pem plus some chain files. However, the docs for nginx-proxy say:
The contents of
/path/to/certsshould contain the certificates and private keys for any virtual hosts in use. The certificate and keys should be named after the virtual host with a.crtand.keyextension. For example, a container withVIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.comshould have afoo.bar.com.crtandfoo.bar.com.keyfile in the certs directory.
I'm trying to use this for local development with a self-signed certificate. I had ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT with no option to accept the certificate anyway when I followed this project's docs. After switching my filenames to localhost.crt and localhost.key and ignoring the chain ones, the browser started receiving a certificate and just complaining about it being self-signed, giving me an option to bypass that.
I thought about sending a patch to change the docs, but I don't know how the LetsEncrypt part interacts and didn't want to break the docs related to those.
Relatedly, the healthchecks on this project fail if the certificate is self-signed. I had to add -k to the curl commands.
