SSL Cert wont load with the DuckDNS addon. Don't know what to do

I’ve been following the tutorial to get DuckDNS up and running with Let’s Encrypt and just cannot get the SSL certificate to work.

Here is what I have

    {
      "lets_encrypt": {
        "accept_terms": true,
        "certfile": "fullchain.pem",
        "keyfile": "privkey.pem"
      },
      "token": "mytoken",
      "domains": [
        "mydomain.duckdns"
      ],
      "seconds": 300
    }

Log Message:

    # INFO: Using main config file /data/workdir/config

It successfully created the certs. I see them living in the \ssl folder.

Here is the config file

    # Uncomment this if you are using SSL/TLS, running in Docker container, etc.
     http:
        base_url: mydomain.duckdns
        ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
        ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem
        
    # Checks for available updates

I’ve tried various combinations of https:\mydomain.duckdns, putting all the values in quotes. Nothing works.

I have port forwarding set up for 80, 443, and 8123 all pointing to 8123. I can access all the sites through http.
http:\mydomain.duckdns:443, mydomain.duckdns:8123 all work for example.

When I go to load the https:\mydomain.duckdns, it just won’t load at all.

Browser gives me a secure connection failed error.

Any assistance would be vastly appreciated.

edit: Note, I had to remove .org from all the “urls” so that I could post.

base_url: yourdomain.duckdns.org

I already mentioned this :stuck_out_tongue:
I had to remove all the “links” so I could post, so I removed all the “.orgs” from my URLs.

Also, I completely just wiped my raspberry pi and started again. This time it worked. So I have no idea what was happening.

None of your examples or text indicated you had the correct url by including .org. when I replied.

Why couldn’t you post links?

The very last sentence of my post mentioned this.

“edit: Note, I had to remove .org from all the “urls” so that I could post.”

I edited it right after I posted so I could clarify. Maybe you were just too fast for me. Or I was too slow.

I’m a new user and there is some rule where new users can’t post more than 2 links. So to post, I just removed the .orgs from all the URLS.

Anyways, I wish I could find a reason why this happened, but I couldn’t. I just gave up and wiped the whole thing and now it just works like all the tutorials pointed out.
