DuckDNS and Let's Encrypt for Home Assistant on Synology - #023

00:00 Intro

00:27 - WARNING: Some parts of this guide will require you to open ports on your router and forward traffic. This WILL compromise your security, but without doing that, process of getting SSL certificate will be much harder.

02:51 - Minimum steps to make your setup more secure - account management.

05:34 - First step is to configure DuckDNS

07:40 - In Synology we have to setup external access
Use guide on this page to help you setup Synology DDNS.

10:35 - Second step is to prepare your router and do port forwarding

14:28 - Third step is adding new certificate to your Synology device.

15:58 - If you have problems with getting certificate, most common error is that you are not running latest (minimum required) DSM version.

This guy knows his stuff! I watched episodes 23 and 24. Now my HA connection is encrypted! Thank you!

Hello, thank you for very nice videos, I have used them to set-up my own assistant. I have a question: I am about to instal ADB in docker to be able to controll android-TV via home assistant. But I have a big problem to set it. I am able to install ADB image: sorccu/adb and I am mapping /config to my synology folder /docker/ADB/ where I have my startup.sh file, but I always get message in log of ADB that this file is not found. Do you plan to create video about android TV control in future?
Thank you

So I went through this whole set up...

Now it won't allow me to go into the home assistant app because the cert is not valid while showing from the web... So when I went over to the app it's trying to verify the cert and I can't get into it anymore. I can from the web, but not the application

Any help?

i have updated to the last supervisor update on syno...and now i have tihs error:
Internal Server Error ("OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:345: starting container process caused "exec: \"/dev/init\": stat /dev/init: no such file or directory": unknown")

Have you a solution for this issue? Impossible to start addons mosquitto & duckDns

Many thanks

[rbakshi]

Thanks, Very good video. Question. Why can't we use synology DDNS ? For example "domain.synology.me". Would like to know what is the difference between duckdns vs synology DDNS. Thanks

I suggest a video about setting openvpn to acces your dsm from outside

Great Video BeardedTinker

I have two synologys on my network, the first one worked fine as per your video, but then i try to setup my other syology to with it IP address on port 443 & 80 in BT port forwarding the router gives me an error message saying;


Error

You may face one of the error
The rule is overlapping with the existing rule.

It seems my router will not let me have two different rules using 443 and port 80

Would you know how to get around this please?

Hello, thank you for all your inspiring work. I can't import the cetificat, I'm getting "Operation Failed. Please login to DSM Again" error. port 80 and port 443 are open.

[blizzardgaming]

Hey thank you for this Video. I don´t know why but It does not work for me. Let´s Enrypt is always telling me that Port 80 is not open. I have a FritzBox. Maybe someone can help me how to open port 80 an 443. Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Noob here: How will HA use SSL from Synologys Lets Encrypt certificate? DSM is secured now, but how will it goes to HA and other services?

[nassiri]

hi, thank you again for the perfect tutorial. yesterday my certificat expired, cant figureout how to renew it. can you help ?

[laszlonieuwenhuizen]

Hello, thank you for the nice videos. It help me al lot. Until this video.
Why is in DSM under certificate xx.duckdns.org "for" empty? There is a "-". By the synology certificate there is by "for" : "FTPS System default, Replication Service".
I can't open home assistant with duckdns. I follow all the instructions. I hope you can help me.

[KINGLIFERISM]

of course I am the only fool where duckDNS in synology failed.
