DuckDNS Add-on

I’m having an odd issue.

The duck dns add-on claims my cert is valid and up to date. It says the expiration date is august 2nd, 2018.

When I use chrome or any browser, they use the old outdated cert. Here’s a snipit showing that it’s using the wrong cert:

I’m not sure how to fix this.

I’ve

  • Restarted Hassio
  • Restarted DuckDNS add on
  • I’ve cleared cache

Anyone have other ideas?

EDIT: So for shits and giggles I created a new duckdns domain and set it up. Works perfectly with HA. The one above is linked to the wrong cert. Can we get a way to force a new cert?

I have been having the same issue too…I am locked out of lets encrypt at the moment for generating too many certificates…I have removed DuckDNS and reinstalled it several times now…The certificate says its valid until 26th August but on

platform: cert_expiry
host: home-assistant.io

it says it runs out in 15 days…all very odd !!

So as a band aide, i’m just using a new domain name. I created a PR with hassio add-ons this morning to address the issue.

In chrome, try clearing the site settings?

Scroll all the way down on the following page. I only had this problem in Chrome when this happened to me, though. Other browsers were ok.

Yeah, it’s all browsers for me, including the iOS app.

EDIT: Worse case scenario is that I bounce back and forth between these 2 domains every time this occurs. I’m not too worried as I have a work around.

Have you considered deleting the certification files?
That would force a new certification creation

Not sure how to do that with hass.io. You know how to get into the file structure outside the config directory?

Hi!

My easiest solution for that would be to instal the IDE add-on (https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-ide) and backup the files, delete them and you can see if it generates a new cert to fix the problem when you restart the duckDNS add-on.

Thanks, I’ll give that a whirl later tonight.

If you use samba you can enable the ssl directory in the samba addon options. Set “ssl”: true, save, restart the addon and then you will see it as another shared directory along with the others. You may want to disable it again once you are done poking around.

Or through the ssh addon you can cd to /ssl

I do use samba but left ssl to false, never bothered finding out what it was. I’ll look into that too.

Yes, you can show/hide any of the directories listed with true/false. The ssl directory is set to false by default.
