> This is my basic setup

> ```auto
> scylladb:
> image: scylladb/scylla
> ports:
> - "9042:9042"
> volumes:
> - type: volume
> source: scylladblocal
> target: /var/lib/scylla
> volume:
> nocopy: true

> I am trying to use the same client code that we use in production to connect to this node. The client is configured to use SSL/TLS. As a result the connection is failing. How do I configure the scylla node in docker to use SSL/TLS?

However, given that you will need to copy the certificate, and keys anywhere, might be easier to simply append these arguments to `scylla.yaml` directly.
