I’m just getting started with HA so my yaml / rpi knowledge is extremely limited, but i’m looking to setup a secure remote connection to my HA system.
i set it up using duckdns because apparently every video available online in the last 2 years shows how to do it with duckdns ( probably because it free ) and it worked.
but i already own a domain, and so i was hoping i would be able to setup a secure connection my ha to a sub domain. is this possible?
can someone please point me in the direction on how to set it up?
The http challenge should work always, but it requires a http (port 80) to be open on your side.
I prefer the DNS challenge, as it doesn’t require anything….but….not all dns provider support it
thanks for the quick reply, sadly the domain i have wasn’t on the list of supported providers, but i started a domain transfer to a supported provider so just need to wait until its finished to try it out
I did the same; went to TranIP (it was also a few €’s cheaper ), works like a charm!
Before that I had quite a complex system using apache, certbot and a copy process to generate certificates.
