I’m running discourse with other websites and I’ve configured that according to this guide. now I want to use letsencrypt to secure my discourse. However in this topic, it says we shouldn’t follow it if we run other websites. and I didnt find other how to topics about this situation. [图片]Set up HTTPS support with Let's Encrypt If you are already using web.socketed.template.yml, because you host other websites via port 80 on the same server, stop. You should be using a Let’s Encrypt client on the host system; can someone elaborate what should we do in this situation?

You can puzzle the steps together by following my guide about setting up an offline page: [图片] Add an offline page to display when Discourse is rebuilding or starting up Sysadmins warning This guide is intended for advanced users, who are already using nginx outside the docker container. By following this guide you make your setup more complicated and will lose some speed benefits like HTTP2 if you’re not running Ubuntu 16.04 or later. Proceed with caution! When Discourse is rebuilding or starting up, your users will usually either see an error message from their browser… [image] …or a not-so-nice 502 error message from Nginx: [image] If you’re a perfectionist … The guide assumes you start out with Discourse not running behind nginx and guides you through setting up nginx including Let’s Encrypt and setting up an offline page. You should be able to simply skip what you’ve done already, and stop as soon as the offline page work starts :slight_smile: (The core idea is to set up Certbot on the host, configure nginx to redirect most HTTP traffic to HTTPS but answer acme-challenge queries from the webroot, and teach nginx to use the resulting cert.)

[图片] hnaseri: can someone elaborate what should we do in this situation? The second sentence of the topic you linked to provides the answer: [图片] hnaseri: You should be using a Let’s Encrypt client on the host system How you do that is dependent on how you’ve setup the host system, and is beyond the scope of what a Discourse-specific guide can provide. There are no shortage of guides on the Internet for setting up Let’s Encrypt in all manner of situations.

You should be using a Let’s Encrypt client on the host system; can someone elaborate what should we do in this situation? I also followed those guides and was puzzled until I realized that it basically means, I don’t need to do anything because my outer NGINX is already taking care of SSL (there is also an inner NGINX running in the docker container but you don’t have to do anything with that one in your setup. Or rather: it doesn’t have to know anything about SSL, which is why you’re supposed to remove "templates/web.ssl.template.yml" from your app.yml). I’m not sure it’s helpful when I say that you “don’t have to do anything” because of course you have to setup your outer NGINX according to the guide you linked: [图片]Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse For an HTTPS site, make /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/discourse.conf look like this: But once you’ve done that, you’re fine. For a better understanding: the discourse.conf becomes part of the nginx.conf and it basically tells NGINX that all traffic going to your discourse forum should also be SSL encrypted.

[图片] fefrei: (The core idea is to set up Certbot on the host, configure nginx to redirect most HTTP traffic to HTTPS but answer acme-challenge queries from the webroot, and teach nginx to use the resulting cert.) I have read your guide and it does make sense for me. However when I want to apply it, I have so many difficulties. The thing is right now I have two conf files for nginx to make discourse work. the first one is in /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf and it includes: server { listen 185.51.200.214:80; server_name talk.zabanshenas.com www.talk.zabanshenas.com; error_log /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.error.log error; access_log /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.log combined; access_log /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.bytes bytes; location / { proxy_pass http://unix:/var/discourse/shared/standalone/nginx.http.sock:; proxy_http_version 1.1; } include /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.talk.zabanshenas.com.conf*; } the second one is in home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf and it contains: server { listen 185.51.200.214:80; server_name talk.zabanshenas.com www.talk.zabanshenas.com; error_log /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.error.log error; location / { proxy_pass http://185.51.200.214:8080; location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|bmp|ico|svg|tif|tiff|css|js|htm|html|ttf|otf|webp|woff|txt|csv|rtf|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|ppt|pptx|odf|odp|ods|odt|pdf|psd|ai|eot|eps|ps|zip|tar|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|7z|aac|m4a|mp3|mp4|ogg|wav|wma|3gp|avi|flv|m4v|mkv|mov|mpeg|mpg|wmv|exe|iso|dmg|swf)$ { root /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/public_html; access_log /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.log combined; access_log /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.bytes bytes; expires max; try_files $uri @fallback; } } location /error/ { alias /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/document_errors/; } location @fallback { proxy_pass http://185.51.200.214:8080; } location ~ /\.ht {return 404;} location ~ /\.svn/ {return 404;} location ~ /\.git/ {return 404;} location ~ /\.hg/ {return 404;} location ~ /\.bzr/ {return 404;} include /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.talk.zabanshenas.com.conf*; } now can you take a look at these and tell me what part should I change? [图片] tophee: my outer NGINX is already taking care of SSL Christoph if you also take a look at these two files and tell me which one is inner and which one is outer nginx from your definition, that would be great.

Both files configure the outer nginx. They need to be changed to serve https on port 443, and be updated to include the ssl settings. In addition, you need a third server block for HTTP.

[图片] hnaseri: Christoph if you also take a look at these two files and tell me which one is inner and which one is outer nginx from your definition, that would be great. As I said, you have no business with the inner NGINX so all NGINX config files you are fiddling with are outer NGINX and that is how it’s supposed to be. Having said that, I’m not sure why you’re editing the nginx.conf directly. While, in principle, there’s nothing wrong with that, it seems to be common practice to leave nginx.conf more or less alone and make your adjustments in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default (which is identical with /etc/nginx/sites-available/default). But I’m a newbie at this myself, so I am not able to just read your files and pinpoint to where the problem lies, especially since you are not saying anything about the issues you are having. One thing I notice, though, is that you have included your /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.talk.zabanshenas.com.conf*; twice. That makes no sense. And generally, those two files don’t look familiar to me at all. Are you sure you followed the guides you linked earlier?

Here’s a slightly more detailed battle plan: Backup /etc/nginx! Update your existing configurations to listen on port 443. That’s invalid (nginx will speak HTTP on port 443), but we’ll fix that once we have the certificate. Doing so will free up port 80, so your existing configs cannot conflict with getting your first cert. Add the first configuration snippet after the Add HTTPS section header in my offline guide to either one of your config files, or an additional one in sites-available that you link to in sites-enabled. service nginx reload Install Certbot and get a certificate. Follow the instructions in my guide to do so. Supply multiple domains (with multiple -d arguments) to Certbot so you get one cert that covers all relevant domains (talk.zabanshenas.com and www.talk.zabanshenas.com). When you got the cert, adapt your existing configs (that you already changed to port 443) to match the last configuration snippet in the Add HTTPS section header in my guide: Update the listen line and add the lines that configure SSL. Leave the rest as is. service nginx reload If all went well, your sites should be served via HTTPS, and there should be an automatic redirect to HTTPS.

[图片] tophee: One thing I notice, though, is that you have included your /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.talk.zabanshenas.com.conf*; twice that also makes no sense to me too. However I’ve got that from @Sergiz in this topic. I removed it from my /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf and It works. so I suppose that was a redundant line? anyway, I think I got it working However I’m not pretty much sure if I’m doing everything right. so I share it here. for future reference. My discourse is running with VestaCP on Centos 7, which I managed to configure it here. to make it working with https, I changed the following files thanks to @fefrei and @riking 1- /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf: server { listen 185.51.200.214:80; server_name talk.zabanshenas.com; location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ { root /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/public_html; } location / { proxy_pass http://unix:/var/discourse/shared/standalone/nginx.http.sock:; proxy_http_version 1.1; } } server { listen 185.51.200.214:443 http2 ssl; server_name talk.zabanshenas.com; # <-- change this ssl on; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/talk.zabanshenas.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/talk.zabanshenas.com/privkey.pem; ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256'; ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m; add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000;"; add_header X-Frame-Options DENY; add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff; ssl_stapling on; ssl_stapling_verify on; client_max_body_size 0; location / { proxy_pass http://unix:/var/discourse/shared/standalone/nginx.http.sock:; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; } } 2- /home/admin/conf/web/snginx.conf : server { listen 185.51.200.214:443 http2 ssl; server_name talk.zabanshenas.com; ssl on; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/talk.zabanshenas.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/talk.zabanshenas.com/privkey.pem; error_log /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.error.log error; location / { proxy_pass https://185.51.200.214:8443; location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|svg|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|odt|ods|odp|odf|tar|wav|bmp|rtf|js|mp3|avi|mpeg|flv|html|htm)$ { root /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/public_html; access_log /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.log combined; access_log /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.bytes bytes; expires max; try_files $uri @fallback; } } location /error/ { alias /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/document_errors/; } location @fallback { proxy_pass https://185.51.200.214:8443; } location ~ /\.ht {return 404;} location ~ /\.svn/ {return 404;} location ~ /\.git/ {return 404;} location ~ /\.hg/ {return 404;} location ~ /\.bzr/ {return 404;} include /home/admin/conf/web/snginx.talk.zabanshenas.com.conf*; } 3- /home/admin/conf/web/shttpd.conf : ServerName talk.zabanshenas.com ServerAlias www.talk.zabanshenas.com ServerAdmin info@talk.zabanshenas.com DocumentRoot /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/public_html ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/cgi-bin/ Alias /vstats/ /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/stats/ Alias /error/ /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/document_errors/ #SuexecUserGroup admin admin CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.bytes bytes CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.log combined ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domains/talk.zabanshenas.com.error.log AllowOverride All SSLRequireSSL Options +Includes -Indexes +ExecCGI php_admin_value open_basedir /home/admin/web/talk.zabanshenas.com/public_html:/home/admin/tmp php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /home/admin/tmp php_admin_value session.save_path /home/admin/tmp AllowOverride All RMode config RUidGid admin admin RGroups apache AssignUserID admin admin IncludeOptional /home/admin/conf/web/shttpd.talk.zabanshenas.com.conf* Now normally, I should put the following in the shttpd.conf SSLEngine on SSLVerifyClient none SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/talk.zabanshenas.com/cert.pem; SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/talk.zabanshenas.com/privkey.pem; SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/talk.zabanshenas.com/chain.pem; However when I added that and restarted httpd, It gave error telling that cert.pem is missing while it was obviously there. So I removed all of these lines and restarted httpd and it worked. So at this point, I dont know if I’m doing something wrong.

Your Apache installation doesn’t need to know about HTTPS – nginx will handle all this, and pass through only HTTP :slight_smile:

I followed these steps and were able to enable https. However I have a major problem. Now my discourse forum only supports TLS v1.2 and not TLS v1.1 and TLS v1. Not supporting TLS v1.1 and v1 means not supporting android version < 4.4 which is a huge deal. So is there anything I should do to fix this? There is a template for ssl that can be included in app.yml. However I dont know if in this setup I should include that. Any idea?

How should I enable letsencrypt while discourse is beside other websites

Product Support Self-hosting

You can try that.

Another solution might be to move Discourse to another port and have CaddyServer reverse proxy for you. It purports to support TLS down to 1.0.
