I believe, you need to add that certificate to the chain. The online
SSL test also fails and complains about incomplete certificate
chain [1].

Here is what the test with `openssl` shows.

```
$ openssl s_client -connect www.alsa-project.org:443
CONNECTED(00000003)
depth=0 CN = alsa-project.org
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
verify return:1
depth=0 CN = alsa-project.org
verify error:num=21:unable to verify the first certificate
verify return:1
---
Certificate chain
 0 s:CN = alsa-project.org
   i:C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = Let's Encrypt Authority X3
---
[…]
```

Does that work on your system?


Kind regards,

Paul
