Did you try doing any searching on the error message before posting here? That's an SSL error. Most likely due to you using a dns name that doesn't match the cert being provided by the server.
Yes, I did. It appears that the server is not even providing any cert at all to the browser, which is why this fails.
This looks to be a problem within the Yunohost software that generates the self-signed cert, so nothing I can do about it from the outside. I have posted an error report to the Yunohost forum.
I think if there was no cert at all, the server would fail to start in the first place.
Also I would consider trying to use openssl to see what's actually happening since the browser can sometimes obfuscate things in it's attempts to be helpful.
openssl s_client -connect :443
I'm with @SheeEttin@lemmy.world in that the server should fail to start if there was no certificate to load. It's more likely that the server is providing an invalid cert. Using the openssl command above would help you identify that.
That's odd. Do you not get the advanced option to proceed anyway and load the page?
If you add an exception for the cert what happens?
The browser does not offer the option of excepting this error. It straight up refuses because the host does not provide a certificate.
You could point the DynDNS to your first server, generate a valid SSL certificate with letsencrypt, then move DynDNS and the certificate to the new server.
As per your update, the problem with the server is generating certificates, right?
Yeah, the problem is that the server is down supposed to do it all on its own and when that doesn't work there's no good way to hack it without confusing the clever system.... It would then be forever a manual process.
Better to let the Yunohost Dec's sort it out internally.
