Caddy https

Wekan / General · April 6, 2020 at 5:17pm

Dear all, Need a little help running wekan in production. Installed wekan via the snapd method on ubuntu 18. Followed the following:

https://github.com/wekan/wekan-snap/wiki/Install

On step 8 and 9, I installed caddy and get root@dai2:/home/ubuntu# snap services Service Startup Current Notes wekan.caddy enabled active - wekan.mongodb enabled active - wekan.wekan enabled active -

My caddyfile looks like (xxx to mask IP address) https://128.122.xxx.xxx { tls { alpn http/1.1 } proxy / localhost:3001 { websocket transparent } }

Do I need to take extra steps to use https? if so what are those? because I get

This site can’t provide a secure connection128.122.xxx.xxx sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

many thanks for help

        And then in those nameserver settings set A record pointing to your IP address

          and after that set caddy config

              If you don't need SSL/HTTPS, then it's not needed to use Caddy

                In that case you can: sudo snap set caddy-enabled='false'

                    For my servers, I use https://www.cloudflare.com/ SSL and nameservers

                        because from CloudFlare there is wildcard SSL for about 15 years and nameserver web interface for free

                          it's better than Let's Encrypt for me, because I had problems activating Let's Encrypt on those servers

                            although, on some other webservers Let's Encrypt has worked fine
