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](https://vivianlobo.medium.com/how-to-install-gramps-web-on-a-synology-nas-af80784c1618) (Medium article - portainer deployment). It worked like a charm, I could immediately connect to gramps web via [http://192.168.1.X:5054/](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](https://www.grampsweb.org/LetsEncrypt/)

I copied the [nginx\_proxy.conf](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gramps-project/gramps-web-docs/main/examples/docker-compose-letsencrypt/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](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/gramps-web-with-nginx-proxy-manager-nmp-docker-container/3837/3) to produce the following, which created the stack:

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

[http://url:5054](http://url:5054) works  
[https://url:5054](https://url:5054) doesn’t.

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