Installing External Service with Nginx and Certbot
We're going to need a certificate for our service since we'll want to talk to it over https. This will be handled by certbot. I'm using AWS in this example, but certbot has tons of DNS plugins available with similar commands. The important part is getting that letsencrypt certificate generated and in the place nginx expects it.
Before we can use certbot we need aws credentials. Note this will be different if you use a different DNS provider.
See generating AWS credentials
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
./aws/install
# Configure default credentials
aws configure
With AWS credentials configured you can now install and generate a certificate.
# Fedora
dnf install -y certbot python3-certbot-dns-route53
# Ubuntu
apt install -y python3-certbot python3-certbot-dns-route53
# Both
certbot certonly --dns-route53 -d chatreesept.reeseapps.com
Now you have a cert!
Install and start nginx with the following commands:
# Fedora
dnf install -y nginx
# Ubuntu
apt install -y nginx
# Both
systemctl enable --now nginx
We'll write our nginx config to split frontend/backend traffic depending on which
endpoint we're hitting. In general, all traffic bound for v1/ is API traffic and should
hit port 8080 since that's where the service protected by the API token is listening.
The rest is frontend traffic.
Speaking of that frontend, we'll want to protect it with a basic auth username/password. To generate
that we'll need to install htpasswd with pacman -S apache or apt install apache2-utils.
# Generate and save credentials.
htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.htpasswd admin
With our admin password created let's edit our nginx config. First, add this to our nginx.conf (or make sure it's already there).
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
keepalive_timeout 1h;
send_timeout 1h;
client_body_timeout 1h;
client_header_timeout 1h;
proxy_connect_timeout 1h;
proxy_read_timeout 1h;
proxy_send_timeout 1h;
Now write your nginx http config files. You'll need two:
- localai.reeseapps.com.conf
- chatreesept.reeseapps.com.conf
/etc/nginx/conf.d/localai.reeseapps.com.conf
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name localai.reeseapps.com;
location / {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name localai.reeseapps.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/localai.reeseapps.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/localai.reeseapps.com/privkey.pem;
# Frontend
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_buffering off;
auth_basic "Restricted Area";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
}
# Backend
location /v1 {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_buffering off;
}
}
/etc/nginx/conf.d/chatreesept.reeseapps.com.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name chatreesept.reeseapps.com;
location / {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name chatreesept.reeseapps.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/chatreesept.reeseapps.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/chatreesept.reeseapps.com/privkey.pem;
location / {
client_max_body_size 50m;
proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
Run nginx -t to check for errors. If there are none, run systemctl reload nginx to pick up
your changes. Your website should be available at chatreesept.reeseapps.com and localai.reeseapps.com.
Set up automatic certificate renewal by adding the following line to your crontab to renew the certificate daily:
sudo crontab -e
Add the following line to the end of the file:
0 0 * * * certbot renew --quiet
At this point you might need to create some UFW rules to allow inter-container talking.
# Try this first if you're having problems
ufw reload
# Debug with ufw logging
ufw logging on
tail -f /var/log/ufw.log
Also consider that podman will not restart your containers at boot. You'll need to create quadlets from the podman run commands. Check out the comments above the podman run commands for more info. Also search the web for "podman quadlets" or ask your AI about it!
