    Hi there,

    I was hoping to handle my own SSL with a reverse proxy (similar to Cloudflare but not the same).

    I want to SKIP and never do lets-encrypt.

    I set “SSL_TYPE” to “openssl” and then I set “INTERVAL_SS_ENCRYPT_CERTBOT” to “never”

    but it still tries to make a lets encrypt cert. All I want is a local self-signed cert on the actual web server. I will handle SSL separately.

    Is there another setting I should turn off to allow this?

    Thanks!

    I think you can just ignore it? it should not conflict with anything running in the background occasionally

    if you didn’t enable Let’s Encrypt in your ss-config then it shouldn’t affect anything in your stack just let it run on the cron schedule and do your thing with OpenSSL
