Help configuring https using docker-compose

[dr-kristau]

I've been using wiki.js successfully for a few months, and have it configured in a docker-compose.yaml file. I now need to enable https, but I need some help getting it working.

I've made changes to my docker-compose.yaml, and have added in a new config.yml, as can be seen in this simple diff:

Both docker-compose.yaml and config.yml are in the same directly, while the certificate star-net.pfx is in a subdirectory called certificates. I would expect this to work having read this discussion, but it doesn't.

The logs give me:

I suspect this is a mistake of mine in this docker-compose setup, but I don't know how to modify it to get it to work.

Your issue is a database connection problem, not a SSL certificate problem. Fix your database connection first.
