Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/698

Originally assigned to: @maziggy on GitHub.

Bug Description

The wiki documents the CA certificate path as data/virtual_printer/certs/bbl_ca.crt for native installs. This path does not exist. The actual certificate directory is virtual_printer/certs/{id}/ and contains virtual_printer.crt and virtual_printer.key — no bbl_ca.crt file is generated.

Expected Behavior

CA certificate exists at documented path data/virtual_printer/certs/bbl_ca.crt after enabling virtual printer.

Steps to Reproduce

Native install on Ubuntu 24.04 LXC (Proxmox)
Enable virtual printer in Settings
Follow wiki instructions at https://wiki.bambuddy.cool/features/virtual-printer/#step-1-locate-the-ca-certificate to locate CA cert at data/virtual_printer/certs/bbl_ca.crt
Path does not exist

You need to enable virtual printer in Proxy mode to trigger certificate generation. Other VP modes are not requiring a cert.

@luckygreen commented on GitHub (Mar 14, 2026):

The documentation specifies an incorrect file path for the Virtual Printer CA certificates. While the certificates are generated correctly, they are not located in the directory described.

Documentation states: ./data/virtual_printer/certs/bbl_ca.crt

Actual location: ./virtual_printer/certs/bbl_ca.crt (relative to the application root, typically /opt/bambuddy/).

Proposed Fix

Update the path in the "Virtual Printer" and "Authentication" sections of the wiki to reflect the actual directory structure, to prevent user confusion during manual certificate installation.

I did enable a virtual proxy printer. The certs exit. But not in the location stated in the docs.

This is a simple, easy to be fixed, documentation bug. No more.
