Add a certificate bring safe mode

Configuration
1

I’m trying since few days now to activate the support of certificates.
I have a signed certificate (not a let’s encrypt one)
I followed that documentation: HTTP - Home Assistant and modified the configuration file like that:

http:
    server_port: 8123
    ssl_certificate: /etc/mysite.net/homea.mysite.net.crt.pem
    ssl_key: /etc/e-nahum.net/homea.mysite.net.key.pem
    use_x_forwarded_for: true
    trusted_proxies:
    - 192.168.1.200      # Add the IP address of the proxy server
    - 192.168.1.0/25  # You may also provide the subnet mask
    base_url: homea.type.mysite.net:8123

the certificate have both homea.mysite.net & homea.type.mysite.net on SANs

but when I put the lines, it always trigger safe mode … commenting them fix it …

any clues on what I’m missing?

Did you run a command line configuration check (see the common tasks for your install method)?

It’s highly likely if you were to do that, or check the log file, you’d see that it either can’t read the file (no permissions) or the file isn’t there (that path would only be valid if you’re using a Core install method).

Thanks, you are right I can see that the files had been removed and the mysite.net folder is not existing anymore … I did an scp to put the files there and I created the folder by ssh … apparently not the best way… What is the correct way to doing it?

create a directory SSL in /config, and put your certificates there.

ok I did that … but I probably did something wrong …
When I go to the webinterface, it ask for username / password, second factor and shoot me a message: “Unable to connect to Home Assistant.” | Retry
if I’m using SSH I have a connection refused on TCP 22 …

Any clues on what I’m missing?

You can’t connect using http:// any more, you must use https://
