Unable to connect to Octoprint because of a self signed SSL certificate

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I’m pretty new to HassOS but I’ve been 3D printing with Octoprint for a while now.

I’m currently trying to add the usual cards to Lovelace using the octoprint module and I’m getting a connection error because my Octoprint setup uses a Self Signed Certificate that is forwarded to the web using a custom port of 5010 but HASS doesn’t like that I’m using a self signed cert and therefore won’t connect to my Octopi.

Copy of the logs:

Failed to connect to Octoprint server. Error: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='https', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: //*MY_DOMAIN*.com:5010/api/printer (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7fa1eaeb20>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -3] Try again'))

Error getting new camera image from OctoPrint: Cannot connect to host *MY_DOMAIN*.com:5010 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate (_ssl.c:1129)')]

Copy of relevant configuration.yaml section:

I would really appreciate any help!

That won’t work, as the “octopus” integration doesn’t allow to disable SSL verification.

Thank you for the suggestion!

I’m not going to lie, the tricky option looks very confusing for a beginner like me so I’ll probably give the easy option a go

Thank you!
