I came here to report similar. Running with docker run -it --rm -p 5000:5000 -e HQ_VERIFY_CERTS=False elastichq/elasticsearch-hq and seeing the above error.

I am no expert at this, but this solved my similar issue (adding the enable SSL variable):
docker run --rm -p 5000:5000 -e "HQ_ENABLE_SSL=True" -e "HQ_VERIFY_CERTS=False" elastichq/elasticsearch-hq

Connected successfully to elasticsearch (from ElasticHQ webpage) using https://[ip]:9200

I have tried passing this variable, and still have issues connectiong. Since the only error is "bad certificate" I would guess it is still trying to verify the self signed cert.

Connect to ES cluster with self-signed certificates successfully.

Write environment file on any path:

HQ_VERIFY_CERTS=False
HQ_DEFAULT_URL=https://[HOST]:9200/
HQ_CA_CERTS=/path/to/ca.pem <= Issuer CA
HQ_ENABLE_SSL=True

And run container using env file:
docker run --env-file /path/to/env -p 5000:5000 elastichq/elasticsearch-hq
