Self-signed Certificate for SSL/TLS
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>If your Home Assistant instance is only accessible from your local network you can still protect the communication between your browsers and the frontend with SSL/TLS. <a href="blog/2015/12/13/setup-encryption-using-lets-encrypt/">Lets encrypt</a> will only work if you have a DNS entry and remote access is allowed. The solution is to use a self-signed certificate. As you most likely dont have a certification authority (CA) your browser will conplain about the security. If you have a CA then this will not be an issue.</p>
<p>To create locally a certificate you need the <a href="https://www.openssl.org/">OpenSSL</a> command-line tool.</p>
<p>Change to your Home Assistant <a href="/getting-started/configuration/">configuration directory</a> like <code class="highlighter-rouge">~/.homeassistant</code>. This will make it easier to backup your certificate and the key. Run the command shown below.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>openssl req -new -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -keyout privkey.pem -days 730 -out fullchain.pem
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>For details about the parameters, please check the OpenSSL documentation. Provide the requested information during the generation process. At the end you will have two files called <code class="highlighter-rouge">privkey.pem</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">fullchain.pem</code>. The key and the certificate.</p>
<p>Update the <code class="highlighter-rouge">http:</code> entry in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file and let it point to your created files.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">http</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">api_password</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">YOUR_SECRET_PASSWORD</span>
<span class="s">ssl_certificate</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/home/fab/.homeassistant/fullchain.pem</span>
<span class="s">ssl_key</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">/home/fab/.homeassistant/privkey.pem</span>
</code></pre>
