Letsencrypt addon broken?

hi I’m trying to get lets encrypt working with my home assistant running on a PI. I read the documentation nearly 10 times now and I still cant get it to work.

the addon guide https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/blob/aa4f2d7f0f447c57b4cd4ebda24ebc738a3d3176/letsencrypt/DOCS.md

everything works as far as routing . I have my own hosted domain and the A record pointed to my external ip which is static. port forwarding is all good I can access my HA via my domain name ie xxxx.aaa.com:8123

i have also verified that port 80 is not blocked by my isp by forwarding 80 -> 8123 browsing via my domain name once again works fine.

I have the following port forwards external 80 -> ha ip port 80
external 443 -> ha ip port 443
external 8123 -> ha ip por 8123

my router is also a pi3b+ running OPENWRT

here is the log file

i cant view it log as i believe its locked away in its own docker container. ( docker is something i have zero experience with)
i expect i cant follow any of the other guides for the same reason. as almost all the commands ( such as apt-get) are not available on the PI version of home assistant.

what am i missing? it keeps bitching about a possible firewall issue but i can browse to it freely with out ssl via my domain … is the addon broken , something missing from the documentation, or am i just dumb?

never mind, turns out my ISP does block port 80… fortunately i can turn off the blocking … just takes up to 1/2 an hour… so yep… I was just dumb :slight_smile:
