Are those logs from Kibana?

Did you register the proxy?

BTW minor, Kibana is nodejs not Java

Also Others did get this to work with `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`

For example: docker run --name kibana \ --net elastic \ -v $(pwd)/npmcerts.pem:/tmp/npmcerts.pem \ -e NODE\_EXTRA\_CA\_CERTS=/tmp/npmcerts.pem \ -p 5601:5601 \ docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.0.0

Did you try running like this. And made sure that file is readable by Kibana user / permissions are correct

`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS="/etc/kibana/CA_Bundle_2024.pem" /usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana`
