MoonDeck Buddy Status Exception unable to Pair. Possible issue with SSL and Certs?

[tkiethanom]

First off thanks for creating this neat tool! I'm running into an Exception on the Steam Deck side so I'm unable to pair. Running version 1.6.12, Here is the error from the /tmp/moondeck.log.

Am I missing something with the cert? Any ideas?

I'm able to hit the server that is running on the PC from the Steam Deck and getting the expected in Firefox:

192.168.86.56:59999 uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.

Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT

I've already done a hard reset on my Steam Deck to make sure any other configurations were cleared out.

Heyo. That's strange :/. Can you check what files do you have in ~/homebrew/plugins/moondeck/python/ssl/ ?

[tkiethanom]

Oh that folder is empty...

[FrogTheFrog]

That is very strange, I've just installed it via decky and it was there :?. Can you try to reinstall the plugin again?

[FrogTheFrog]

Otherwise if it still does not work for some reason, you can just copy these files into it https://github.com/FrogTheFrog/moondeck-keys and then just restart the SteamDeck

Ok I feel like a noob. I didn't realize I could just install MoonDeck through the Decky UI in Steam Mode.

I had originally followed the build steps from the Readme... I guess people who use Decky would already know that. Good news is that it's working! Thanks so much!

• Clone this repo to the ~/homebrew/plugins.
• Install pnpm via npm npm install --global pnpm.
• Run pnpm install in the cloned repo directory.
• Build using pnpm run build-dev for local build.
