V.77 and NGINX Proxy add-on

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

I’ve been happily using the NGINX BestLibre addon (https://github.com/bestlibre/hassio-addons). Ever since upgrading to v.77 and the new auth system, my NGINX stopped working. I have no issues logging in locally using my private IP, but remotely I can’t. I get a “403: Forbidden”.

Any idea how that can be fixed? I suspect I will have to wait for an update from the library owner to implement something like this: https://blog.ceard.tech/2018/08/turbulence-ahead-fasten-your-seatbelt.html

Any insights? Thanks!

Anyone? @bestlibre ?

I am in the same boat anyone know what to do?

This post was released along with 0.77.
Worth a try

Thanks, that link was posted in the first post above. But there is nothing I can do with this information since I can’t change the add-on. Well, I guess I could do my own add-on…

6

why dont you just sentup nginx/letesncrypt as docker. Just follow the guide I wrote here.

7

The above can’t be done in HASS.io of course. But thanks anyway.

8

If you’re running hass on a docker in ubuntu or similar you can set this up.

9

Mine is broken as well using hsssio, anyone any ideas?

10

Looks like we have no choice but to replace that add-on with something else. The owner @bestlibre is not even responding. Too bad.

11

Sorry for the (too long) delay. I’m currently moving between two houses and home assistant is not running anymore. I have internet back since yesterday. I will look at this ASAP.

12

Ah, okay… Thanks!

13

@bestlibre Any luck with this as of yet?

14

My raspberry pi is still in a box. I will look at the link in the first post and try a blind fix… Sorry for the delay

15

I have looked at the post and other docs and it is not really clear to me. Can any of you guys share your nginx add-on configuration ?

Also, can someone test with my caddy add-on?

I don’t think my system will be running before the end of next week at the shortest. Sorry again.

Seems like a simple line in the code:

NGINX

On NGINX you add the following to the location section(s) of your configuration:

proxy_set_header x-ha-access “yourPasswordHere”;

But I don’t know how the password gets sent from the HASS configuration to NGINX. Maybe another parameter (ie. password) is needed in the add-on configuration so that the variable is passed on to NGINX…

17

I have pushed a new version which will hopefully fix the problem. There is a new option in the addon configuration, x-ha-access to hold your password.

Since my pi is still in a box, can some one try and give me a feed back on this ?

Thanks

I updated the add-on and everything is back now. I did not have to add anything to the configuration, it just worked. Is that the intended behavior?

Thanks!

19

You should have needed to had the new option. I don’t understand why it wasn’t working before and it’s working now. It works, it’s the principal.

20

I did not add any option in the configuration. I did not even know exactly what to add. BTW, the documentation does not reflect the changes. I will wait to see what others are sating.

Thanks again,
