Hey Guys,  
When i try to provision on my local virtual machine, the task “Add Nginx APT key” return this error and I don’t understand why

> TASK [nginx : Add Nginx APT key] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

+1  
Same for me using a fresh Trellis 1.8.0 install with Ansible 2.9.10

I found [this issue](https://github.com/roots/trellis/issues/1213) regarding Ubuntu 16, but the fix also works for Ubuntu 20.  
add:  
`nginx_keyserver: "http://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key"`  
to your group\_vars/all/main file.

( changes it to http instead of https )

Same here following official documentation using Trellis-CLI.  
I’ve tried to use the latest bento-ubuntu-20.04 v202107.28.0 but getting the same error.  
You can use the solution from @erit to provision local vm. Did anyone try on a remote server?
