Hi there! Don’t worry, let’s see what the issue is :wink:

First of all, I’m kind of confused here, so please calm down and take a step back. Slowly explain to me

  • what happened
  • what did you do
  • any relevant logs

Please provide the link to the thread/message where you asked the initial question. That’d be helpful :slight_smile:

Awesome! But your RC version doesn’t seem right to me. 3.16.3 shouldn’t be released as snap yet. Please double check the version.

I’ll be waiting for your reply :highfive:

To be honest I’ve forgotten how to check version on Ubuntu
As for the the thread your asking for I not sure which one was that the thread your taking about the results were I needed to use a signed certificate from a certificate authority so I’m in the process of working that out and by the way I’m very calm

I personally think all errors I’m experiencing are related to not hassle working correctly so I’m just going focus on that for the moment on my iPhone it works great I’m running iOS 14.6

From the other issue of yours I gather that url for your rocket chat instance is - http://squeakyrocket.com:3000/. Here you are also putting the port number at which Rocket Chat is running. This is not how its supposed to work. You should only use http://squeakyrocket.com and it should work, redirecting of request to the port should be taken care by reverse proxy.

I think you haven’t configured the reverse proxy. What kind of reverse proxy are you using? Have a look here to setup reverse proxy.

If you are still facing issues with reverse proxy and need more help, reach out to me at - open workspace of Rocket Chat

Please read the question carefully before responding as you can easily confuse people.

He had clearly said that he was using caddy. Check what these things are before responding

I know you have visual impairment issues but PLEASE try and stick to one topic. You are posting multiple threads all over the place so it gets confused very quickly.

Your issues are with certificates. You should be able to use caddy with snap installs.

This is the guide to use. I do not know how easy it is to read.

https://docs.rocket.chat/installing-and-updating/snaps/auto-ssl-with-snaps

If you have set up your SSL certificate correctly you can disable http - or redirect http queries to https.

Your mobile apps will then work.

It will be much easier if you use Letsencrypt/caddy than using self signed certificates.
