Replacement for Synology SSL Wildcard Certificate

[Philebos]

Hallo,

 

I am currently in the process of migrating from my Synology NAS to a self-build one running XPEnology.

 

One of the reasons for switching is that the Synology Hardware was just to slow for my increasing taste of hosting my own services via Docker Containers.

 

Up until now I used the SSL Wildcard Certificate provided from Let's Encrypt via Synology to reverse proxy into the self-hosted services which need easy remote access.

 

That is option is, of course, gone now and I am searching for a good alternative.

 

What do other Xpenology users do who face the same problem. Currently my plan is to just buy one from ssl2buy for example. 

 

Are there other, better options I am overlooking?

Why - gone? It works on Xpenology

that's interesting.

 

for me it didn't work the first time I tried. But I immediately assumed that it wouldn't work anyway. I shall try again then...

Use your original SN/MAC in Xpenology DSM

[Philebos]

I tried several things but for me, it sadly doesn't work: “invalid Device Serial”

 

Do the Xpenology serial numbers usually pass the synology.com test? Maybe I was just unlucky getting a bad serial number?

Hi All,

I'm also wondering if the Wildcard Certificate can be installed under Xpenology?

Yes, you can install a Wildcard SSL certificate on XPEnology, just like on a regular Synology NAS. You'll need to generate a CSR manually, get the certificate from a provider, and install it in your reverse proxy settings.

 

For an affordable option, you can check CheapSSLWeb for Wildcard SSL certificates. If you prefer automation, consider using ACME clients like Certbot, depending on your setup.

You should check out certera.com DV SSL starts from 3.99
Wildcard from 39.99 I bet this is the cheapest price you will find on the internet.
