Kubuntu Website Inaccessible Due to SSL Configuration Mistake

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Nov 08, 2025

Quoting: Kubuntu Website Inaccessible Due to SSL Configuration Mistake —

Technical hiccups, for better or worse, are something every IT professional runs into sooner or later. What really matters is how we handle them: staying professional, fixing the issue quickly, and minimizing the impact on users.

I bring this up because yesterday, when I tried visiting the official website of Ubuntu’s KDE-based spin, Kubuntu (kubuntu.org), I noticed that users were being met with an HTTPS connection error message. And while that’s not really the main issue here, I’ll take a moment to share a few technical, boring details—just to help make things a bit clearer for everyone.

The kubuntu.org domain is currently presenting an HTTPS certificate issued by “Caddy Local Authority – ECC Intermediate” because this is not a public CA trusted by browsers. Instead, it’s part of the Caddy web server’s internal certificate system, used only for local testing or internal environments.
