Hello,  
I am using letencrypt for ssl the domain for nakama server. Nakama Console is working fine  
Issue 1.  
when i use nakama client js to authenticate (any method) it’s showing “ **Err connection timed out** ”.

Issue 2.  
If i give  
**socket**  
**ssl\_certificate /etc/letsenrypt/live/domainName/fullchain.pem**  
in **local.yml** (My custom config yml file)  
and run  
**sudo docker compose restart**  
**sudo docker compose down**  
but when i run below command  
**sudo docker compose up**  
It’s giving me fatal error no such file or folder but fullchain.pem file exists on given path.

Help me with these 2 issues asap

1: are you sure, you have the correct server name and port defined?

2:  
Since you use docker-compose, your path to your pem certificate file is IN the docker container of nakama. so if you want the container to see it, it has to be in a docker volume. i.e. the data-folder where your local.yml file is.

In production, I’m running nakama behind an nginx proxy and behind cloudflare. so i let others handle SSL for me 😉
