Issue with SSL configuration

---

Hi there

I tried to configure Pimatic with https support.
But each time I start Pimatic, it only starts http and in config it’s deleting https section…
Here the config:

{
  "settings": {
    "httpServer": {
      "enabled": true,
      "port": 81
    },
    "httpsServer": {
      "enabled": true,
      "port": 8080,
      "hostname": "",
      "keyFile": "ca/pimatic-ssl/private/privkey.pem",
      "certFile": "ca/pimatic-ssl/public/cert.pem"
    },
  ...

Here the output when I start Pimatic:

After Pimatic is stopped or restarted, config looks following:

    "httpServer": {
      "enabled": true,
      "port": 81
    },
    "httpsServer": {},
  ...

Does anyone know, where the issue is?

Thanks in advance for hints.

I dont know for sure. But did you try to remove the http snipped and just add the https snipped in your config? just a thought.

Did you edit the config.json with a text editor while pimatic was running? In case, make sure to stop pimatic first!

@mwittig: I stopped pimatic, edited and started again; The funny thing is, that it is deleting the content of the node httpsServer
@countjuh: I tried with (issue as described in OP) and without (which results in an error that no httpServer configuration is available

@SwissResl

Im still wrestling with the https. If i change my config from

{
  "settings": {
    "debug": true,
    "logLevel": "debug",
    "httpServer": {
      "enabled": true,
      "port": 8081,
      "hostname": ""
    },

To

{
  "settings": {
    "debug": true,
    "logLevel": "debug",
    "httpsServer": {
      "enabled": true,
      "port": 8083,
      "hostname": ""
    },

my pimatic isnt available anymore, think i tried to much ssl certificate things imo. i lost the balls to try anymore I’m sry. hope anyone can help you out.

@countjuh Perhaps port 8083 is already used by some other process. Did you check?

@mwittig
you are right on this one. I use port 8083 for the webserver of the GUI.
I cant use 554 cause my NAS server uses these port for SSL.
I tried some ports. I think my main problem is i didnt find a solution to make me a ssl solution. I have followed a ssl solution but i didnt manage to create certificates for windows enviroment or ios devices.
