certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate

[gaeljw]

Hello folks,

Using GitLab with a custom CA certificate, I get the following error:

ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1010)

This occurs even after setting either:

• GITLAB__SSL_VERIFY=false env var,
• or pointing to the CA file that I mount in the container at runtime GITLAB__SSL_VERIFY=/app/certs/ca.crt

(Reference documentation I used: https://qodo-merge-docs.qodo.ai/installation/gitlab/?h=ssl#run-as-a-gitlab-pipeline)

To make it work, I had to add an extra environment variable for Python's requests: REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/app/certs/ca.crt.

I'll be happy to open a PR to improve the documentation about this if it sounds right to you? Not sure what's the best place though as this should not be specific to GitLab, right?
