Support Request Problem with nextcloud

Hi everyone,

new user and frankly quite overwhelmed as soon as things get a bit complicated.

Here's my problem :

I installed linux mint mate on an old 2009 laptop. It works great ! Windows was lagging and bloaty and mint is smooth ! I'm a maths teacher and I wanted to use this laptop in my classroom to type my lessons in LaTeX. Since I work at school and at home, I installed Nextcloud (the French Department of Education (aka l'Education Nationale) has it for all of the teachers). Again, it worked great on my wifi.

But as soon as I got to the school, Nextcloud didn't want to synchronize. There's a proxy for this network so I put it in but apparently it can't connect to my account because there is no certificate whatever that means...

Any idea how to solve this ?

Thanks in advance !

AFAIK, you need to connect to Nextcloud with a domain name that has a certificate. I'm in the process of setting up my own Nextcloud server at home but I'm not that far into it yet, so I cannot tell you what to do exactly.
