Hi. I was using my own certificate and domain in V5. The certificate is in PEM format and resides in the home directory of my Rpi. When I point to the certificate in V6's settings, the webserver stops. Any ideas?
Did you look at the updated documentation TLS/SSL - Pi-hole documentation
Where did you point your cert?
The certificate file needs to be readable by user pihole
.
This might not be the case if the file is in your home directory.
It is recommended to place the file in /etc/pihole
instead.
Hi. My Linux-Fu is very poor. I am using Cyberduck to move files around. Unfortunately, when I try to place the certificate into /etc/pihole I don't have access. I am logged in as user "pi". I suspect I have to log in as user "pihole". But what would be that user's password?
You cannot log in as pihole
directly.
You can use sudo
to move to file. like sudo mv ~/cert.pem /etc/pihole/tls.pem
. Additionally you can get a shell as root
with sudo -i
. When logging is as root your home directory(~
) will change as well. /root
instead of /home/pi
Thank you for your help. I will do this today.
