It’s a fresh install + migration of settings from previous machine using backup & restore method. I also added openhabian hostname to the router (Turris Omnia) configuration.

Can I provide more info to help with diagnosing where is the problem? I’m using a router provided by the internet provider and Turris Omnia ar the real router serving LAN. Could that make a problem with obtaining the cert?

8080 is the HTTP port, for HTTPS, please use port 8443.

Once you use the correct port in your URL the next thing you will see is your browser complaining it is a unsecure connection.
That is due to openhab uses a self signed certificate. In order for you to solution that you simply need to export the cert from your browser session and import it to your trusted root certificate authority key store and it will not keep warning you it is unsecure.
