FATAL: The configured certfile is not found

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I am trying to start up motionEye, I have managed to install it just fine, but when I start the addon, in the log file it returns me the below error:

FATAL: The configured certfile is not found

The full log file is:

I did some Googling which led me to the following guide:

I have added the two PEM files in my configuration.yaml and it therefore reads:

http:
ssl_certificate: /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/certificate.pem
ssl_key: /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/privkey.pem

Unfortunately this returns me the error:

Invalid config for [http]: not a file for dictionary value @ data[‘http’][‘ssl_certificate’]. Got ‘/usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/certificate.pem’
not a file for dictionary value @ data[‘http’][‘ssl_key’]. Got ‘/usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/privkey.pem’. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 29). Please check the docs at HTTP - Home Assistant

I’m not sure if I am on the right lines of troubleshooting the original error for installing motionEye or not. If I am on the right lines, can someone explain the above error for me?

Any tips or pointers please?

EDIT;

Below is the motionEye config, I have tried pointing it to the two PEM files I created, but this has not worked either. Same error.

{
  "log_level": "info",
  "port": 8765,
  "ssl": true,
  "certfile": "/usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/certificate.pem",
  "keyfile": "/usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/privkey.pem",
  "ipv6": false
}

EDIT:

For anyone else who comes across this error, I would suggest using DuckDNS to assign your SSL certificates. This is what worked for me.
