Unable to access Trilium server (answered : port was not opened)

[Beexx]

Hello,

I've installed the Packaged server on a VPS, and it went fine.
However, after I start ./trilium.sh, I can't reach the server on my host, on port 8080. It seems to run correctly, though.
But I'm getting a timeout when I'm trying to access it.

Thanks for your help !

Edit : I've tried both with TLS and without.
Question : with TLS, I've generated a Let'sEncrypt certificate with Certbot. The certificate files end in .pem : is this format understood by Trilium ?

Hey, I solved my problem. I was trying to open the 8080 port using ufw, but I had to go through my hosting account, as they have a specific firewall.

So, for future users :

• make sure the 8080 port is open : either using ufw (ufw allow 8080), or your hosting provider interface (if they're providing you with a specific firewall)
• certificates generated with Certbot are working fine ! Just put the following lines in your config.ini :

certPath=/etc/letsencrypt/live/<my_hostname>/fullchain.pem
keyPath=/etc/letsencrypt/live/<my_hostname>/privkey.pem

(replacing <my_hostname> with your real host name).
