Hey there, It's Daehli from Botpress. In today blog, I will show you how to setup a botpress server that use HTTPS automagically using lets-encrypt.
Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority brought to you by the nonprofit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG)
Certbot is a free, open-source software tool for automatically using Let’s Encrypt certificates on manually-administrated websites to enable HTTPS.
Certbot is made by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in San Francisco, CA, that defends digital privacy, free speech, and innovation.
Don't worry it will be really easy to set up. I did the hard work for you.
From the botpress repo go in examples/docker-compose. From there, you need to modify some variables to point to your domain name.
$ sed -i '' 's/$PLACE_HOLDER_DOMAIN_NAME/example.com/g' docker-compose-community-nginx-https.yaml$ sed -i '' 's/$PLACE_HOLDER_DOMAIN_NAME/example.com/g' nginx/user_conf.d/https.conf<
$ sed -i 's/$PLACE_HOLDER_DOMAIN_NAME/example.com/g' docker-compose-community-nginx-https.yaml$ sed -i 's/$PLACE_HOLDER_DOMAIN_NAME/example.com/g' nginx/user_conf.d/https.conf<
Now, it's time to start the container to run botpress in HTTPS.
docker-compose -f docker-compose-community-nginx-https.yaml up -d
The -f parameters is to select a different manifest
The -d is to start the container in detach mode.
