Issue Summary

Chrome displays a "Not Secure" warning when visiting https://eve.tar.nz, despite a valid SSL certificate being served.

Root Cause

The Wiki.js application is still internally configured with the old SITE_URL (https://eve-wiki.ext.ben.io/). This causes the application to generate metadata and potentially internal links/redirects pointing to the old domain, which no longer has an active proxy host.

Technical Details

SSL Certificate: Valid for eve.tar.nz (Let's Encrypt).
Insecure Metadata: The HTML source contains <meta property="og:url" content="https://eve-wiki.ext.ben.io/">.
Application State: The eve-wiki.ext.ben.io proxy host has been removed, so any background requests or redirects to the old domain will trigger errors.

Recommended Fix

Update the Wiki.js configuration to use https://eve.tar.nz as the primary Site URL. This is typically found in the settings table of the Wiki.js database or via the Administration Area under General Settings.

Database Update (if applicable):

UPDATE settings SET value = 'https://eve.tar.nz' WHERE key = 'siteUrl';

Komodo Stack:
The eve-wiki stack on local.ben.io should be checked for any hardcoded environment variables, though the current compose file does not seem to have one.
