Home Assistant SSL & Authelia

Budget: ₹1500 - ₹12500

I’m ready to move my Home Assistant instance from the default http://homeassistant.local:8123 URL to a clean, trusted https://homeassistant.local endpoint secured with a Let’s Encrypt certificate. The server sits on my own hardware at home.

Here’s what I need you to handle:

• Obtain and install a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate on the Home Assistant host. • Configure any required DNS records so the certificate request can validate correctly; I haven’t set those up yet. • Redirect all traffic automatically to HTTPS. • Deploy and configure Authelia as the authentication proxy, then craft a simple custom landing page so the first impression feels branded instead of generic. • Test the end-to-end flow—public request → HTTPS termination → Authelia → Home Assistant dashboard—and document the steps for future reference.

You’re free to use whatever tooling you prefer (Certbot, ACME-sh, Docker, etc.) so long as it plays nicely with a typical Home Assistant OS installation on a home server. Let me know if you need any ports forwarded or firewall tweaks in advance so I can prepare.

Deliverable: a working, secure https://homeassistant.local protected by Authelia with my custom landing page live, plus a short read-me outlining the commands or config files you added or changed.
