I have setup the Discourse installation on a Amazon AWS EC2 without Let’s Encrypt.
The docker is listening on port 80 and 443 but I can’t access the site via HTTPS.
HTTP works fine but not HTTPS.
With HTTPS I get the chrome browser error “ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED”
I have already allowed 80 and 443 withing Amazon EC2:
I am trying to access the site at the moment via the public IP4:
http://18.220.41.204 is working but not https://18.220.41.204.
Can anybody help?
Https over a port without a certificate? How?
So this does not work? I tought it is working but I get a warning in the browser that this site is not secure.
Accessing via IP isn’t supported. What certificate are you using to access over 443? Self-signed?
No certificate at the moment.
This was only a test before I point my domain subdomain to the Amazon EC2.
I will create another thread of my main problem because I wanted to test this with Amazon EC2 
Did you run discourse-setup? Did you enable let’s encrypt there?
It seems you fixed it using a certificate as above link is currently responding.
I pointed my subdomain now to the IP and rerun the setup with SSL.
After a few hours it is now working.
As I said earlier, IP based installs are wholly unsupported.
Let’s encrypt will work immediately, the certificate verification method is DNS.
