Solution:
This seems to be an error with certificates, they are either outdated or missing. To fix this, we will need to use a script to update/install the certificates needed for the apt-get install.
Add a custom Script step before the Step with the apt-get command that contains this:
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates -y
