URGENT: Issue with certificates

[pennal]

Since this morning I have been experiencing issues with the API at mjml.io, with an error in the certificates. The call to the API from any other client works, so I believe the issue is in the library used to make the request, might simply be outdated.

Here is the stacktrace:

org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessException: I/O error on POST request for "https://api.mjml.io/v1/render": sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target; nested exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

[atrujillofalcon]

Hello @pennal, I have been able to reproduce the error through integration testing. At first I want to rule out a network error by the MJML server and I will check if we have any deprecated libraries.

[pennal]

Awesome, let me know if I can help in any way

[atrujillofalcon]

Hi @pennal , its a problem related with MJML server certificate, seems like be a self-signed certificate

If you execute curl request you can reproduce the problem:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"mjml": "example"}' https://api.mjml.io/v1

Can you report this problem on MJML Slack?

[pennal]

This has already been reported: mjmlio/mjml#2114. I guess that the plan to be sure from now on is to self host the service

[atrujillofalcon]

@pennal you can use this Docker image to host the service on your own. There are lot of platforms that support Docker (Heroku, GCloud, Azure, AWS, etc)

https://hub.docker.com/r/adrianrudnik/mjml-server

[pennal]

Do you have any indication that the image you attached actually works? I have been trying for the past hour to no luck

[pennal]

So I have been able to figure this out, but with some caveats:

• I built my own image, a simple express server, and packaged in docker as none of the others were 100% compatible
• When using such server, you need to make sure to have a valid URL, i.e. you cannot use docker compose' local DNS
• You still need to provide the Auth keys to access the service, since the MjmlAuthFactory is dependant on those
• The library appends the /render path to any URL you provide

It would be great if:

• The library wouldn't check for a valid URL, allowing it to be used inside of docker-compose with the service name
• The library did not append the final part of the path
• The library provided a builder that does not ask for the credentials, and is not named MjmlAuthFactory

Regarding the image, I guess an issue can be opened on the mjml project asking for it.

[pennal]

Is there any update on this? I tried tackling this myself but I have no experience with Kotlin and did not get too far
