I think this is correct, you tested your CA intermediate certificate ...

because of this:

I get the same with my CA

by the way, your CA certificates have a very long validity, which key
length did you use?

openssl verify -x509_strict -CAfile concatCA.pem -purpose sslserver ssl.pem

concatCA.pem is just this
( cat cacert/root_ca.pem; cat cacert/host_ca.pem ) > concatCA.pem
ssl.pem is signed with the intermediate cert cacert/host_ca.pem and is
used for your Webserver ...
will give you just ok.
