Passenger repository certificate verification failed

Question

I want to install Passenger server on my virtual machine, so I do the following:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/apt/passenger trusty main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list"
sudo chown root: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list
sudo chmod 600 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list

But after I update

sudo apt-get update

I get this errors:

Err https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com trusty/main amd64 Packages

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I already installed it previously many times and had no problems. I have no idea what might go wrong.

1) Try to re-install certificates as described here. Maybe they has been changed.

2) Look at this post. It describe similar problem and possible solutions.

Fixed that by reinstalling Ubuntu on clean VM. This issue might appeared because I copied my VM's without turning it off.

Another possible solution is to disable peer-verification

Possible Docker Command could be:

RUN echo 'Acquire::https::oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com::Verify-Peer "false";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99phusionpassenger-cert
