Good morning folks,  
I’m trying to install Ghost with Apache, but as it’s not Nginx, it skips the SSL installation, and when I try to do it manually with `ghost setup ssl` it just says “Nginx config file does not exist, skipping SSL setup”. Any help?

Version: Ghost 3.33.0  
Ghost CLI version: 1.14.1

Many thanks!

The SSL part of the CLI depends on Nginx configured which is why it’s failing. That part is also just a wrapper around [acme.sh](https://acme.sh), so you should be able to just manually set it up :)
