<Callout type="error">
  **You must generate a signing certificate.** Documenso does not ship with one. Without a
  certificate, the application starts normally but document signing will fail on completion with
  errors.

  Please see all the [requirements](/docs/self-hosting/getting-started/requirements) before proceeding.
