kong 2.1.4-0 depends on luasec == 0.9 (not installed)
Warning: falling back to curl - install luasec to get native HTTPS support
Installing https://luarocks.org/luasec-0.9-1.src.rock

Error: Failed installing dependency: https://luarocks.org/luasec-0.9-1.src.rock - Could not find header file for OPENSSL

You may have to install OPENSSL in your system and/or pass OPENSSL_DIR or OPENSSL_INCDIR to the luarocks command.
Example: luarocks install luasec OPENSSL_DIR=/usr/local

Your system is missing openssl it seems, need to install openssl dependency and setup its PATH probs.

A general guide: https://www.tecmint.com/install-openssl-from-source-in-centos-ubuntu/

i have already installed openssl -
root@ci-cd-pipeline:~/kong# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018

root@ci-cd-pipeline:~/kong# whereis openssl
openssl: /usr/bin/openssl /usr/share/man/man1/openssl.1ssl.gz

Hmm looking at other examples I stumbled here:

what if you try to isolate to just doing the luarocks install command prior to Kong and figure out what works there(using OPENSSL_LIBDIR or OPENSSL_DIR):

ex:

luarocks install luasec OPENSSL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

Not ideal but lets you troubleshoot it a bit.
