Home Assistant Set up with SSL for remote encrypted access and nginx for local unencrypted access

[HeedfulCrayon]

I am having some issues with my home assistant setup. I have previously gone through the documentation for setting up remote, secure access to my home assistant via duckdns and let’s encrypt. This worked great until I realized that it broke my vivint doorbell integration (uses a telnet command to call a webhook in home assistant, which won’t work with SSL turned on).
Today I learned about nginx and followed this write up https://help.konnected.io/support/solutions/articles/32000023964-set-up-hass-io-with-secure-remote-access-using-duckdns-and-nginx-proxy

I have removed everything that was added to the configuration.yaml file for http, and tried uninstalling duckdns to force a certificate refresh. This made it so I could access home assistant locally via unencrypted requests (making my doorbell work again), but broke my SSL access remotely. Can anyone help me with this? I am fairly new to this whole environment, but wow it is so amazing!

DuckDNS - It's not just me - it's you!

Okay, As you can see from the above, there is a lot of confusion over which ports you can/should use. Some saying it HAS to be 8123 on the local side and that you HAVE to specify an http: entry in your configuration. No, you don’t ! Edit (20200512) : ‘sometime’ since this post was written the configuration no longer likes some of the “quotes” so I have included what the ‘modern’ versions of the config are, Note: I did not set it up with these (they were changed by updates to the pack…

Holy crap! Seriously I tried every one of those steps except for one thing… the pauses Thank you so much for pointing me to that!
