Hi,
I have a domain name that I want to use with my Home Assistant. Here is what I did so far:
[Note] My Home Assistant is installed on an Ubuntu machine.
- I port forwarded public ports 80-433 to private ports 8123-8123.
- Created a A+ Dynamic DNS Record of my domain that points to my ISP public IP address.
- Now when I type my sub-domain name in the browser http://subdomain.mydomain.com it successfully fetches my HA login page and I can login and use it from outside my network without any problem.
The problem is that the browser is reporting that the connection is not secure. So I bought an SSL Certificate from my domain provider and I want to use that between my domain + Home Assitant.
All the guides I found, focuses on DuckDNS and Let’Encrypt, but I dont want to use third party websites, I want to use the SSL I bought from my domain provider along with my own domain name.
I thought I can install the SSL certificate on the Ubuntu machine itself and somehow assign within the certificate the port 8123 so that this is where the SSL would be activated at, but not sure how to do that and also not sure if Home Assistant uses Apache or not.
Not very experienced with Linux and any help is greatly appreciated.
I just want to be able to use my own domain with my HA with my own SSL. So far I got the first half working, my domain name resolved to my HA correctly so my port forwarding is correct, just need to know how to apply the SSL bought from my domain registrar which is (namecheap.com) to my HA instance.
Thanks.
