I’m asking this mostly because I’m curious.
Why does the app support local URL…? and there was recent updates to this, if it does not support invalid SSL certificates which would be the case if using a local IP address?
Do people run home assistant with SSL disabled, and let the reverse proxy handle it only?
In my case I have nginx run ing as reverse proxy which serves a valid certificate to the publically accessible url, but the internal address will never be valid so I’m struggling to understand what this feature is for… Thanks
Do people use HA without SSL? Yes, many use NabuCasa or other methods that do not require SSL on the local connection, and have a completely different URL for the remote one.
These are two completely different things. I can absolutely stand up a PKI and create a valid SSL cert inside my network. (Local doesn’t immediately mean no cert. Just HARDER certs.) or get SSL certs issued by a PKI with some dns-fu…
Nothing should honor invalid certificates. It’s a security issue.
I run SSL disabled inside the firewall and behind my reverse proxy… No problem.
