Minor Issue During FreedomBox Pioneer Edition Installation

Hello,

I’ve just completed the installation of a FreedomBox Pioneer Edition and wanted to share a small observation regarding the process.

During setup, the provided URL for accessing the web administration panel uses the HTTP protocol (e.g., **http**://192.168.1.151).

However, in practice, it is necessary to use HTTPS instead.

Just a minor detail, but it might be helpful to clarify this for future users.

Best regards,

Denis

Hi @denis.beurive

Welcome to FBX and its forum!
Thanks for the feedback.

As it’s “initial setup” unfortunately it has to be that way.
During your first time connection to FBX, you wont have configured your FBX for secure connection yet.

Once your setup completes (with your choice of dynamicDNS, static IP, etc.), FBX will guide you to getting you LetsEncrypt certificate. From there on all your connections will be secure.

Yes, that makes sense.

Regards,

Denis
