Domoticz

I am using a Linux Ubuntu host running in a virtual machine on a QNAP Nas.

All works fine however the server seems unable to handle HTTPS. I should be able to have the basic server_cert.pem certificate working and deal with no proper padlock, however that does not work. The following is an extract from the logs.

As you can see the whole middle is dedicated to telling me the server_cert.pem does not exist. I checked and it does.

When I set this up it was using the second method of autostartup configuring the domoticz.service and using systemctl to manage it. I thought that it would use domoticz.sh within the home directory to kick this off so all would be fine. I am now confused. It all works fine in http, just not in https.

If anyone has any ideas I could follow that would be really helpful.

if you do not have a SSL certificate on your origin server, or simply can’t use port 443 for web traffic, then you will need to use the Flexible setting in your Cloudflare dashboard. Selecting either the Full or Strict setting without a SSL certificate at your server will result in a 525/526 error
Selecting Flexible when your origin has a redirect from http to https leads to a redirect loop (see also Fixing redirect loops when using Flexible SSL). In this case, assuming there is an SSL certificate at the origin, you should use Full or Full(strict).
If you know you have an SSL certificate at your server (even self-signed), then you can use Full setting.
If you have a valid certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority, using strict mode provides additional defense against Man in the middle attacks, and more trust between your web server and our edge.
You're accessing a subdomain not covered by the Cloudflare-issued SSL certificate
Cloudflare-issued SSL certificates cover the root-level domain (eg- example.com) and one level of subdomains (eg- *.example.com). If you're attempting to access a second level of subdomains (eg- *.*.example.com) through Cloudflare using the Cloudflare-issued certificate, a HTTP 403 error will be seen in the browser as these host names are not present on the certificate. If you need to have SSL working for these type of host names you would either need to purchase a Dedicated Certificate with Custom Hostnames through Cloudflare, purchase your own SSL cert and upload it to us as a Custom SSL Certificate or grey-cloud this DNS record so the traffic goes directly to your origin server.

The Cloudflare-issued SSL certificate is not yet active for your domain
When you first sign up your domain with Cloudflare, The Cloudflare-issued SSL certificates may have not yet been issued. Please allow 15 minutes (on paid plans) or 24 hour (on our Free plan) for this process to complete. You will know if your SSL certificates are active through your CloudFlare dashboard under the Crypto tab.

Hi there,

I have a certificate, however the instructions says it would use the default one even if I did not. When it failed with my certificate I then tried it with the out of the box certificate. None of them worked I got the errors below.
