How to enable the https in a node server? Then talk to the server use https ?

Like https://sdk-mainnet.aepps.com , not like this http://sdk-mainnet.aepps.com

Thank you !

Hi there,

We do this by putting an http server (in this case nginx) in front of the node. We can send you a sample config if you like.

Hi @jsnewby, nginx is Ok, I would like it. thank you very much.

One very easy solution, using let’s encrypt automatically for obtaining a certificate would be using Caddyserver:

Create a configuration file named Caddyfile with this content

https://mydomain.com {
    proxy / http://NODE_IP:3013
    proxy /v2/debug http://NODE_IP:3113
}

run the caddy binary in the same folder and it will automatically request a new certificate and proxy the node via https.

Otherwise for nginx you can follow the guide to obtain let’s encrypt certificates from here
and add a proxy to the (suggested) configuration:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;
    root /var/www/html;
    server_name  example.com www.example.com;

    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot

    # RSA certificate
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot

    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot

    # Redirect non-https traffic to https
    if ($scheme != "https") {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot

    # 
    # Section to proxy the requests to a node
    # 
    location / {
      proxy_redirect off;
      proxy_set_header host $host;
      proxy_set_header X-real-ip $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header X-forward-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_pass http://NODE_IP:3013;
    }

    location /v2/debug {
      proxy_redirect off;
      proxy_set_header host $host;
      proxy_set_header X-real-ip $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header X-forward-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_pass http://NODE_IP:3113;
    }

}

I had a similar problem. We made a decision to rewrite our code. Thinking about the cost, we found a great mobile app development company. It offered us a lot of options to choose from, with different features, and prices as well.
