Thank you @sharkodlak and @danparisi and also thank you @cer28 for summarizing, it works for me.

Thanks @sharkodlak @danparisi @cer28, it works for me too

The workaround I used on Ubuntu 22.04:

1. Build custom docker image based on older Ubuntu where security wasn't that strict, something like

FROM ubuntu:18.04

RUN apt update \
  && apt install -y wget

and build it:

docker build -t unsecuressl:latest .

2. In the script replace direct wget invocation with one using this image. Instead of

wget --no-check-certificate -c "https://${CSD_HOSTNAME}/CACHE/sdesktop/hostscan/$ARCH/manifest" -O "$HOSTSCAN_DIR/manifest"

do

docker run --rm --entrypoint wget unsecuressl:latest --no-check-certificate -c "https://${CSD_HOSTNAME}/CACHE/sdesktop/hostscan/$ARCH/manifest" -O- > "$HOSTSCAN_DIR/manifest"

Similarly replace other occurrences.

After doing these changes, I was able to connect.
