Hey, I set up an ssl certificate with zerossl, and I’ve had no problem accessing the web portal with https, no other setup required (loaded my certificate). However, on clone, I run into the following issue:

```auto
Cloning into 'test-lfs'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://gitea.{Insert my url}.com/test-lfs.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none

```

Please note that insert my url is populated on my machine.  
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is it self signed?  
In my case i have self signed certificate and have something like you. I use this:  
in current command:

```auto
git -c http.sslVerify=false clone https://example.com/path/to/git

```

No recommended, in config:

```auto
git config --global http.sslVerify false # Do NOT do this!

```

Or may be you have no certificate chain on your client?

No, the certificate is signed by ZeroSSL.
