TLS: bad certificate error

Hello,

My setup is a bit complex, I’ll try to make it clear with a little drawing.

I am trying to use docker-compose in a Gitlab CI script. The goal is to start some containers on some distant hosts from the CI script. But I have an error tls: bad certificate.

Here is the console log of the CI:

$ docker-machine version

docker-machine version 0.16.0, build 702c267f

The default lines below are for a sh/bash shell, you can specify the shell you're using, with the --shell flag.

Error creating machine: Error checking the host: Error checking and/or regenerating the certs: There was an error validating certificates for host "[hidden IP]:2376": remote error: tls: bad certificate
You can attempt to regenerate them using 'docker-machine regenerate-certs [name]'.
Be advised that this will trigger a Docker daemon restart which might stop running containers.

I tried the same commands from another host and it works perfectly. So there is something wrong because of the CI but I don’t know how to get more information about it…

If I can provide some more details, do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you.
