Hi,
Somehow, my HA instance is only accessible through a DDNS (I’ve set up DuckDNS a long time ago). I can’t acces HA through it’s local IP address: 192.168.1.131:8123
This is normal, it is either https or http, HA itself can’t do both at the same time.If you want to do both, you need to place a reverse proxy (e.g. nginx) in front of HA.
Yes, I’ve set up a static internal IP address for HA (192.168.1.131). If the IP address had changed, I also wouldn’t be able to approach it from my DDNS, right? network noob here…
Tried this, but doesn’t work.
edit: wait, wth! I get a “unable to connect to HA” error. When I go to the same address in an incognito window, it works! I always assumed that the error was a cached error page. okay, so I’m one step further.
I am not familiar with DDNS. I use a Nabu account for external access and when I changed something in my router, and IP address was changed, I lost local access while still having external access (because my Yellow Box is connected with an Ethernet cable).
