cURL error 60 when trying to connect to self

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
corp.bygeorgenet.me

I ran this command:
curl -v https://corp.bygeorgenet.me

It produced this output:

If I run the curl command on the server where nginx that hosts https://corp.bygeorgenet.me/ is running I get this output

*   Trying 116.203.20.196:443...

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Hetzner

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):
Yes

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

Your server isn't sending the intermediate certificate.

Okay, I'll try using fullchain.cer!

Hi @gbougakov

there runs a check of your domain - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=corp.bygeorgenet.me

Openssl says: The intermediate certificate is missing.

PS: Yep, now the check is ready:

Chain - incomplete	
	1	CN=corp.bygeorgenet.me
