Error: Could not connect to server (public access link) #161

I installed ODK Central on my local linux distro using the docker install steps. I setup the .env file as:

SSL_TYPE=selfsign
DOMAIN=lvh.me
SYSADMIN_EMAIL=me@me.com

Everything seems to work up until the point where I generate a public URL. Enketo loads, but there's a network error going to:

https://lvh.me/-/transform/xform/hwuEO48el0oLrrybRrYWt1yqW9hX0ds?st=mYLJtYV2yuIj6KB6v4HJtJBwhN63UBW3sXaLX!gkl9Fdce%24hRxF4D8xkfCMVzMzD

with the response

{code: 500, message: "Could not connect with Server"}

I feel like this could be SSL related, can anyone confirm or offer suggestions? Thank you.

I don't believe that Enketo allows self-signed certificates. There's some related conversation on the forum. What happens if you try to load a preview (which also uses Enketo)?

I know we have some language recommending issues get filed here but we should modify that! In general, first going to the forum gets more of the community involved. Then if there does turn out to be a code change needed, the devs can triage and file as needed.

Thanks @lognaturel - I will visit the forum in the future for stuff like this. I'll review your question and get back to you tomorrow hopefully, but I'm fairly certain I ran into the same issue with preview, and you are correct - in that the preview also does not work.

Just confirming - the preview does not work. I will close this as it is an enketo issue related to self signed certs.
