Can you login to the mobile apps with selfhosted Lemmy?

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

forsure I thought it had one through porkbun but yunohost might be messing with that

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

yes https://lemmy.rip/ works fine

[hendrik@palaver.p3x.de]

yunohost has a dedicated page in the admin ui for you to configure your domains and certificates. default is a self-signed one unless you generate a proper one

[kolorafa@lemmy.world]

https://lemmy.rip/ doesn't have a valid SSL which might be a problem.

[shimitar@downonthestreet.eu]

Mine worke just fine, what errors do you get? Does it work from web access?

Is your instance accessible from outside your self host? Does it federate?

[shimitar@downonthestreet.eu]

I see the error... You need a valid and non self-signed cert. See how letsencrypt work, its easy and the industry standard today on certs. Its also free and open source.

[slazer2au@lemmy.world]

Firefox thrown a certificate error for me so maybe the app doesn't trust your certificate?

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Yeah I had to click renew manually in yunohost, just assumed if porkbun showed it as valid it would work, my panels for wordpress mightve been doing it automatically lol

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Yeah, I had to renew through a setting in yunohost, got used to panels/managers doing it automatically or letting me paste it in

[abeorch@friendica.ginestes.es]

@slazer2au @3dmvr Yunohost should renew automatically. I got a renewal email from my Yunohost instance this morning. Check your cron job is running.

[shimitar@downonthestreet.eu]

Glad you fixed it!

It's 2025. Not having "real certificates" is something admins intentionally do. Since there is Let's Encrypt available, all other solutions for non-paid certificates are obsolete.

[mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud]

With let's encrypt and DNS APIs, theres no excuse not to have a real certificate!

More so if you want to have that service interacte with other systems not your own

[dirk@lemmy.ml]

Exactly. With directly using certbot handling all and everything fully automatically I ran my old setup with a free dyndns subdomain for quite some time without any issues.

Since Let’s encrypt nowadays is basically implemented in every reverse proxy: certificates are an absolute no-brainer.

If someone manages to buy and configure a domain to serve selfhosted content, this person will also be able to either set up certbot or use the built-in functionality of their reverse proxy.
