Hi,
I could use help to install the openHAB Cloud on an Ubuntu 20.04 VM. Instead of LetsEncrypt I tried to use mkcert.
sudo hostname openhab-cloud
hostname --fqdn
openhab-cloud
At first I executed
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install build-essential redis-server mongodb nginx python git certbot python-certbot-nginx
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
To avoid the following error, I installed NodeJS version 12.22.1:
error: uncaughtException: Cannot find module ‘bcrypt’
Error: Cannot find module ‘bcrypt’

So I installed NodeJS like you can see here:
sudo apt update
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs
I tried to use certbot but I does not work because of DNS problems…
Obtaining a new certificate

Challenge failed for domain openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de
http-01 challenge for openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de
Cleaning up challenges
Some challenges have failed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The following errors were reported by the server:
Domain: openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de
Type: dns
Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de
Then I tried mkcert:
sudo apt install libnss3-tools
wget https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/releases/download/v1.1.2/mkcert-v1.1.2-linux-amd64
mv mkcert-v1.1.2-linux-amd64 mkcert
chmod +x mkcert
cp mkcert /usr/local/bin/
mkcert -install
sudo mkcert openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de '*.openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de' localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
Then the nginx configuration:
sudo rm -r rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
server_name openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de
ssl on;

root /var/www/openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de;
index index.html index.htm;
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
}
After that
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx or sudo systemctl reload nginx
I think I should at first fix following:
curl openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de
curl openhab-cloud
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)</center>
</body>
</html>
Then I tried to install openHAB-Cloud:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/openhab/openhab-cloud.git
sudo ln -s /var/www/openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de /home/openhabcloud/openhab-cloud
cd ~/openhab-cloud
npm install
cp config-development.json config.json
Then I changed the config.json with nano config.json
{
"system": {
"host": "openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de",
"port": "443",
"protocol": "https",
"logger" : {
"dir": "./logs",
"maxFiles" : "7d",
"level" : "debug",
"morganOption" : "dev"
}
},
"express":{
"key" : "some express key"
},
"redis": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "6379"
},
"mailer": {
"host" : "somehost",
"port": 465,
"secureConnection": true,
"user": "someuser",
"password": "somepass",
"from": "<your-mail>"
},
"gcm" : {
"jid": "something@gcm.googleapis.com",
"password": "password"
},
"apn" : {
"team": "PB1234567",
"keyId": "BLABLA1",
"host": "api.development.push.apple.com",
"defaultTopic": "es.spaphone.openhab",
"signingKey": "certs/aps/AuthKey.p8"
},
"ifttt" : {
"iftttChannelKey" : "key",
"iftttTestToken" : "token"
},
"legal": {
"terms" : "",
"policy": ""
}
}
I removed the line with mongodb because there was nothing configured yet. Also I remove a password for redis.
Then I run sudo node app.js.
{"errno":-2,"syscall":"open","code":"ENOENT","path":"certs/aps/AuthKey.p8"}
Sadly the page is empty.
However, I’m missing an explanation in this tutorial either way on how to properly set up mongodb accordingly or redis as well.
I think a little bit this could help:
(there as example the part with mongodb should be sufficiently explained.)
The bottom line, though, is that I would have to get the system to work like this first. Any functionality is still missing here. Neither by localhost I could reach it, as otherwise by URL.
On https://[my-ip] I receive:
403 Forbidden
nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
The URL http://[[my-ip] will forward to https://openhab-cloud.hs-furtwangen.de/ which says “Page not found”.
I think there is more than one thing misconfigured here. So besides config.json I would have to adjust the nginx configuration as well.
