Fresh Install - No access

Support
#1

Problem Description
I did a fresh install on a Hetzner VM, following the commands here:

I checked the secrets file and it was generated.

Expected Results
Fresh install should give a web interface to continue setup. :slight_smile:

Actual results
Canā€™t access on either port

running netstat -plantu shows that there is nothing running on the http / https ports.

Information

  • FreedomBox version: latest
  • Hardware: Hetzner CX21 (2 CPU, 4 GB Ram)
  • How did you install FreedomBox?: ā€˜apt install freedomboxā€™

The error I get in my browser is ā€œERR_CONNECTION_REFUSEDā€, which is reasonable considering the ports are not being listened to.

#2

It seems the issue is that Hetznerā€™s cloud configure script removes this default cert and it needs to be regenerated manually.

sudo make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite

Perhaps this could be checked for after the FreedomBox install script is ran?

#3

I opened this issue: https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-team/freedombox/-/issues/1923
It will add a check if the certificate is missing.
