HA Proxy, Lets Encrypt, unable to load certificate from file .pem no start line.

[witenite]

I am trying to get HA Proxy working with a cert from Lets Encrypt to work.

Everything is up to date, PF Sense Plus (23.05.1)

I add the back end as per the instructions on Lawerance Systems Youtube videos. The back end configuration goes in with no issues.

I configure the front end, and I receive this error.

Errors found while starting haproxy
[NOTICE] (22798) : haproxy version is 2.7.6-4dadaaa
[NOTICE] (22798) : path to executable is /usr/local/sbin/haproxy
[ALERT] (22798) : config : parsing [/var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg:15] : 'bind X.X.X.X:8096' in section 'frontend' : 'crt-list' : unable to load certificate from file '/var/etc/haproxy_test/JellyFinPrxy.pem': no start line.
[ALERT] (22798) : config : Error(s) found in configuration file : /var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg
[ALERT] (22798) : config : Fatal errors found in configuration.

(IP removed for security)

The file in question starts with a line space then...

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
(key)
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

I am not sure where to go from here to see why this is happening, or if this is something that I can fix.

Should this be a bug report???

@witenite said in HA Proxy, Lets Encrypt, unable to load certificate from file .pem no start line.:

Well that would not be the cert that would be the key.. The acme certs would just go in the cert manager and you would just pick it from a drop down list..

This would be in the cert manager

Are you trying to manually load it up or something?

Thanks.

I skipped the step mentally on adding certs in the SSL Offloading section. I added it there, and no error.

Again, Thank you.
