BREAKING NEWS! Certificate issues with my stream have a high likelihood of being FIXED! What was the issue? Well, to quote an LLM:
This was not a certificate problem.
It was:
IPv6 traffic falling through to the wrong Nginx SSL server block
Fixed by:
adding listen [::]:443 ssl; to the correct vhost
In other words, I had "listen 443 ssl" instead of "listen [::]:443 ssl" in my vhost file for my stream. Sometimes it's pretty simple, isn't it?
Not only that, I now have a working widget on my site main page which should accurately show whether I'm live or not! The next step would be to set it to automatically make an announcement on this forum (since it probably gets more views than my main page) and possibly to allow viewers to have browser notifications (this might already work if you click "notify" on live.pantsuprophet.xyz but I haven't tested it). In any case, I'll be streaming this Sunday at 18:00 UTC and hope to see some peeps tune in. I might even do it the next two days at some point just to celebrate. I can just make a manual announcement on top of the forum too, it's really not that big a deal. It would be cool to find a way to do this on YouTube as well because I still get a lot of attention there. Kind of like
one of my favorite channels on YouTube does by using a video that goes public for a temporary period to announce his Twitch streams to his YouTube audience.
That's one hell of a load off my shoulders! And just in time for me to have to pack up my PC and move in a month. But once I'm set up I'll be very glad this is in place.
