Cockpit wont start up.

Post by kbt »

Hi
I'm new to this forum so pls bear with me and point me in the right direction if this topic is already a known/solved issue:

I have a brand new rev pi connect se and when connecting to either the ip or the local adress the cockpit wont start.

what i get is two different messages
rev_pi_ss.png
rev_pi_ss_2.png
any idea of how to get this fixed?

what i've done so far is reinstalled bookworm.

Hi kbt,

it looks like the cockpits self-signed certificates on your system are invalid.
You can remove them with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/*
After a reboot, Cockpit will automatically regenerate fresh self-signed certificates, and everything should work normally again.

I’m not sure what caused the certificates to break in the first place, but I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

I see that you’ve already reflashed your device, so my previous suggestion won’t help in this case. Still, I wanted to share the fix in case it’s useful for similar situations in the future.
