Hi
I’m trying tov setup encrypt on my Pi 3 by following this video. At 5:43 he runs the “crontab -e” command and then selects “2” to run the nano editor. I don’t t get this option. How do I start the Nano editor - editing the correct file?

thanks

If you are on hassio, then just add the Duckdns add-on ( https://home-assistant.io/addons/duckdns/ ).

It sets up both the lets encrypt and dynamic dns. Fast, easy, works.

Thanks for the help. It’s not working so far - could you help me a bit more please.

What I did:

  1. Created my-domain.duckdns.org.
  2. Created port forwarding on my router
  3. Tested the config without https and it’s working perfect
  4. Installed the duckdns add-on on my HassIO
    5.Filled the option in duck dns add-on like this
    {
    “lets_encrypt”: {
    “accept_terms”: true,
    “certfile”: “fullchain.pem”,
    “keyfile”: “privkey.pem”
    },
    “token”: “0b3f85b3-63f7-4872-b97e-7093009e97dc”,
    “domains”: [
    “my-domain.duckdns.org”
    ],
    “seconds”: 300
    }
    6.Added theese line to my config.yaml
    http:
    base_url: https://funch-andersen.duckdns.org:8123
    ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
    ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem
  5. Restared my HA

The web interface is not responding at all, so I’ve to remove the config.yaml changes.
Any hints on what I’m doing wrong is appreciated
