Portainer error: Client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server.

[notDavid]

Hi again,

so opening https://portainer.mydomain.nl/ gives me this error in my webbrowser: Client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server.

Changing the port from 9443 to 9000 in the config fixes it.

Is it a bug or config error on my side?

Thank you!

PS.
I haven't figured out how to set the password yet, whatever i set PORTAINER_ADMIN_PASSWORD to i always get Unauthorized 🤷🏼‍♂️

Okay, i figured out how to set the admin password (source)

So let's say the password is test1234:

$ htpasswd -nbB admin 'test1234'
admin:$2y$05$QbX5CFLupABLCSv51ks6D.RA/pQoIvxmqdqfd.W21Uh0TC7sRx26y

3. You now have to escape each $ with another $, like so:

`$$2y$$05$$QbX5CFLupABLCSv51ks6D.RA/pQoIvxmqdqfd.W21Uh0TC7sRx26y`

4. Set this as PORTAINER_ADMIN_PASSWORD in .env

@notDavid I confirm you it's not a bug, I also had to change the port to 9000

Thank you for your feedback, it helped me a lot. It definitely should be mentioned in the docs or as comment in the .env file.

Again, many thanks 🙏

Sorry for the late fix, indeed some changes in Portainer were breaking, and as I do not use Portainer anymore, I did not encounter the issue myself.
