So I’ve got a HA and it’s working great. I wanted to be able to access it remotely for obvious reasons but I can’t seem to get it to work. Here’s how i have everything set up:
HomeAssistant runs as expected, on it’s normal ports
I use HAProxy (note this “High Availability” Proxy) to map HomeAssistant to port 80
I also run a NGrok server on the machine that maps a public IP to my localhost:8123
So here’s what I’ve found:
I can access HA from my local LAN by just visiting the IP address (login screen comes up, can login, etc.)
I can access HA from the NGrok IP as well (login screen comes up)
I can NOT login to HA from the NGrok IP (I enter my password, it never succeeds in establishing the proper websocket connection)
What gives? I don’t understand why from the NGrok IP I can get the login page, but I can’t login?
I have also hit the same issue using ngrok. Any workarounds so far ?
Meanwhile i also tried localtunnel and it works as expected, just that their public servers are not that stable…
