I’m running a self-hosted instance of Ghost on AWS Lightsail (Bitnami). I’ve diligently followed the Quick Start guide provided (accessible here: [https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en\_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-quick-start-guide-ghost](https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-quick-start-guide-ghost)). However, upon executing the bncert-tool to establish an SSL certificate and enable the HTTPS protocol, I encountered an issue. Specifically, any new image I include in a post appears as disabled, with the “alt” attribute being displayed instead. Additionally, the content panel within the “view site” option of the admin panel is completely devoid of content.

Curiously, I observed that upon clicking the lock icon within Firefox and selecting the “disable protection for now” option, the previously missing images are now visible, and the content within the right admin panel is also displayed. I am seeking guidance on rectifying this issue while retaining the crucial HTTPS connection.

Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
