Hi everyone,

I need some help with one of my services (Paperless-NGX) I accessed it a long time via IP but as my wife is also using it I changed it to an easier hostname. (dms.local)

Currently it’s running in docker and traefik is handling the access and uses https because my browser is quiet annoying without https.

Now my problem: I use a self-signed certificate because of the „local“ domain and because I access the service only from my local network. How can I remove the warning that the certificate isn’t trustworthy? It stops me from using mobile apps to connect and also sometimes isn’t working with some browsers.

Had someone else a similar issue?

    I’d personally recommend using caddy and proxying as that will automatically get let’s encrypt certificates. I’m not sure if it works on .local addresses though. It’s possibly worth grabbing a cheap domain to do it, moving it to cloudflare and then using the caddy cloudflare dns Addon to get the certificates. Then you could have external access also down the line. If you want to keep the .local domain You may have to manually add the self-signed certificate to trusted stores. This isn’t always possible so you might be SOL if you’re wanting to keep the local domain.
