Install script: curl fails TLS verification for swamp.club (certificate chain)
Opened by stack72 · 4/7/2026· GitHub #991
Summary
Running the documented install command fails during the HTTPS fetch to swamp.club with curl error 60 (unable to verify the server certificate / unable to get local issuer certificate).
Documented command
curl -fsSL https://swamp.club/install.sh | shObserved behavior
curlexits with code 60- Error text includes:
SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
Environment
- OS: macOS (darwin 25.x)
- curl: system / default (as shipped with the OS)
Workaround used
Installing the binary directly from GitHub Releases worked (same machine, same curl), e.g.:
curl -fL -o ~/.local/bin/swamp "https://github.com/systeminit/swamp/releases/latest/download/swamp-darwin-aarch64"
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/swampSuggestion
If this affects other users behind strict corporate roots or incomplete chains on swamp.club, consider:
- Verifying the full certificate chain is served for
swamp.club - Or documenting the GitHub Releases fallback more prominently in the README for when the installer URL fails TLS
Happy to provide more diagnostics (openssl s_client output, etc.) if useful.
