Finally using SSL certs on my local services, no more HTTPS warnings. Someone appreciate because my GF could care less (alien.top)

I love my homelab, and the more I tune things the more satisfaction I have. I tolerated the "Your connection is not private" for my self-signed SSL certs on my services for way too long.

I just setup NGINX Proxy Manager as a LXC on my Proxmox Server and pointed a subdomain I own to the server. Now I have custom domains for each service along with valid SSL Certificates. It's all local without exposing anything to the outside world. It's very satisfying. I tried explaining what I was doing to my GF but she could care less ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Followed this video from Wolfgang's Channel YouTube (great channel btw), the first minute does a better job explaining the setup. I always thought I would have to setup a local CA which is more work than I was interested in, but this approach was much simpler (and free!).

For my Root I use OpenSSL with the pkcs11 module to keep the keys on a Yubikey, then I use Step CA as an intermediate/issuing.

Planning to use Yubikey for one of my subCAs. Do you know a good writeup on OpenSSL+Yubikeys?

Also, which Yubikey slot do you use for storing the cert/pkey?

Ha! You run the same stack as I do. 🙂

I asked EODdoUbleU on the parent comment here, but could you please reply to that question as well?
