Can you update the following property in your collector.properties
(exactly like this, without trailing slash)?

InstanceBaseUrl = https://collector.ritter.vg

That URL should then be included at the top of:
https://collector.ritter.vg/index/index.json

If that doesn't work, just restart the java process and look again
after the next updateindex module run.
