Hi everyone. I have a working Typesense Cloud setup working to index a Firebase collection using the extension. I'm trying to also set up my own server on Digital Ocean, but keep getting Timeout errors when I try to add new documents to firebase. The only difference is the TS Cloud uses the 0.2.7 version of the extension and my new setup is with 0.3.0

You want to make sure your Typesense server is listening on port 443, with SSL certs configured. The extension only works with that config, since Firestore makes API calls over the public internet to the configured hostname.

docker run \
        -p 8108:8108 -v/tmp:/data \
        typesense/typesense:0.23.0 \
          --data-dir /data --api-key=xyz

I will reinstall with port 443 but I can''t see in the documentation how to configure the SSL

https://typesense.org/docs/0.23.0/api/server-configuration.html#using-command-line-arguments

You want to use --ssl-certificate and --ssl-certificate-key
