Settings Not Saving + Https Local GUI

Support
#1

Hi. I’m using the web gui through docker on unraid 6.12.11. I have a paid license.

  1. I’d like to configure https in settings but after filling in the info and hitting save it pops up with “Settings Saved. Restarting Servers” but then returns a page with the HTTPS fields still blank, so it’s not saving my changes.

  2. Once that’s resolved, I could use guidance on how to secure my gui connection with https? I access the gui over my local network only, but prefer using https just in case. The http address shown in settings is 0.0.0.0:3875, which resolves to my serverip:3875. For https I’m not sure what to put. I usually trial and error my way to a solution but issue 1 is preventing that in this case.

Thank you for your help!

Are you using nonstandard port? What is in the log?

Duplicacy is using lets encrypt to manage certificates, for the lan it’s a massive overkill. You can provide your own certificates: Custom certificates for web edition - #7 by gchen

Another possibility is to use cloudflare zero trust platform - then you can access duplicacy and other services from anywhere in the world and don’t need to worry about authentication, encryption, and/or vpn — cloudflared daemon does it for you. That would be my preferred solution.

While in the lan you don’t need http — you still can keep duplicacy listening on loopback interface only on HTTP and run cuddy to provide https, or even just use ssh forwarding like so: Web-UI security: HTTPS, sessions, and logout button - #7 by saspus
