Why it happens

The automatic CMake build failed because libweb has no CMakeLists.txt and the cJSON development package was not found. Engine then generated a basic fallback compose setup, which started and returned HTTP 200 on port 8080. The assigned hostname has no public IPv4 resolution, so it uses a PanelAlpha self-signed certificate.
