I've tried to change localhost to local but it remains the same
I commented line says: SSL_TYPE it prints healthy on nginx when you run:
docker-compose ps
but obviously that does not resolve our issuse.

In general, you'll need a fully qualified domain and a proper SSL certificate to run Central.

What happens if you go to localhost on that machine's web browser? Does Central load?

Hey @Omar_A ,

I hope you are doing well. To set up ODK Central you need either a public domain or you need to take a public IP from your internet service provider. After that you need to update these details accordingly.
Have a look on these posts.

  1. Install Central on Ubuntu 20.4 on AWS EC2 instance - #11 by yanokwa
  2. Is it possible to install and run ODK Central server on a local machine? - #10 by Ronald_Munjoma

Best,

Hi @Omar_A,

Letsencrypt will not work until you provide it a proper domain name (not even public IP). And central/nginx will not work until it gets a letsencrypt certificate. I learnt it the hard way! :slight_smile:
