Hi all,

I’m a newbie and I am trying to setup an InfluxDB 2.2 container with HTTPS.

- I have set INFLUXD\_TSL\_KEY and INFLUXD\_TSL\_CERT in Docker Compose.
- I have letsencrypt certs, the folder containing these files is mapped to “/etc/ssl/” in Docker Compose
- The certs are valid (used by other containers on same host / different port)
- HTTP works fine on port 8086, I can access the GUI and I can log in.
- HTTPS does not work:
  - firefox, safari and chrome all fail (ff for example says “SSL\_ERROR\_RX\_RECORD\_TOO\_LONG”)
  - `curl -v https://192.168.1.20:8086/api/v2/ping` fails with error “alert protocol version”.

- Using CLI, I can see the key and cert file under /etc/ssl/, hence Docker Compose mapping seems to work.

In the container logs, I do not see any error so far unfortunately.

Has anyone an idea what the issue could be?

You’ve a typo, the env variables are INFLUXD\_TLS\_CERT and INFLUXD\_TLS\_KEY.
