SSL Certificate in Windows not inserting user for demo build-a-user-management-api-with-nestjs-mysql

[Caryntjen]

Running https://planetscale.com/blog/build-a-user-management-api-with-nestjs-mysql on Windows 11 does not insert the user table, the application starts, even not if I add the following additional configuration:

ssl: {
    ca: fs.readFileSync('C:\\Users\\MyUser\\nest-user-api\\cacert.pem'), //
        cert: fs.readFileSync('C:\\Users\\MyUser\\nest-user-api\\cacert.pem'),
},

with certificate downloaded from https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html

When this is running through WSL, I have no issues. Help wanted.
