Tried to install SSL, bad things happened

Installation
1

I run HA on proxmox, tried to install SSL via duckDNS.

  • Created duckdns account
  • configured the addon
  • started addon (checks logs,all looked good)
  • Added the SSL keys to the configuration.yaml
  • Checked configuration (all green)

Rebooted, and :frowning: no access to anything

I have now SSHā€™ed in removing the changes to configuration.yaml
Accessd via Nabu Casa
Disabled the duckDNS addon
Have access to ā€œnativeā€ Home Assistant locally, but anything not nativeā€¦ eg, node-red, frigate, Studio Code Server etc. I get a ā€œ401: Unauthorisedā€ screen.
I can access everything via Nabo Casa, but how can I fix the local access?

You should have installed the Nginx proxy addon - then Home Assistant stays locally accessible on port 8123 via http, but the nginx proxy allows https access via the Lets Encrypt + DuckDNS configuration.

Since you are running Proxmox though, I donā€™t use the Nginx addon, - I run Nginx Proxy Manager in a seperate LXC via the handy Proxmox scripts created by tteck.

After restoring the last ā€œHome Assistant Coreā€ backup, all works again including . I have now learned to have a recent full Proxmox backup before venturing out in SSL again :sweat_smile:

Will lookinto nginx.
