Error setting up Ghost blog on Digital Ocean

Hello,

I am trying to set up the ghost blog on Digital Ocean. This is my first time self-hosting blog and I ran into some problems.

My Ghost set up was completed successfully, but when I enter my website’s address jayeshkawli.com, the Chrome shows me following error

Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.jayeshkawli.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

Do you know what might be wrong with my set up and how can I fix it?

Jayesh.

Hello @jkawlidigitalocean

You can issue and configure a SSL Certificate for your blog and the error will be resolved. You can use certbot to install the certificate on your server.

We have an article that covers the process which you can check here:
