Gramps installation on a VM on Synology NAS

Gramps Web
25

Hello all, I thought it’d be best to tag on here.

So I was using Gramps locally until the other night when I followed the tutorial from Vivian found here (Medium article - portainer deployment). It worked like a charm, I could immediately connect to gramps web via http://192.168.1.X:5054/.

I would like this application to be accessible from the web.

I have since set up the synology DDNS which includes simply ticking a box for a let’s encrypt certificate. I set up my router to forward to port 5054.

It seems as though, manually typing the http:// url into the browser on mobile phones works, the connection goes through.

However, whatsapp converts links to https meaning that when the link is clicked from a whatsapp message, the link won’t work.

So I found the article Setting up HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt and Docker Compose

I copied the nginx_proxy.conf to /volume1/docker/grampsweb/

and then used the original script from vivian, and combined it with the script from Gramps Web with nginx proxy manager (NMP) docker container - #3 by mreugene to produce the following, which created the stack:

The stack deployed successfully.
However, didn’t resolve anything

http://url:5054 works
https://url:5054 doesn’t.

Does anyone here have experience with how to resolve this? What am I misunderstanding/doing wrong?
