## Make sure we are up to date and install nginx | |
sudo apt-get update | |
sudo apt-get install nginx | |
## Once completed lets check the version | |
sudo nginx -v | |
## OK let’s configure nginx | |
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default | |
## Next we need to enter the server name find | |
server_name _; | |
## And change it to your domain | |
server_name ipfs2.bkawk.com; | |
## Under the server name, paste in | |
location ~ /.well-known { | |
allow all; | |
} | |
## Lastly, let’s change the root to | |
root /var/www/ipfs.bkawk.com; | |
##Save the file and exit then check the file you just edited is ok with | |
sudo nginx -t | |
## Then restart nginx | |
sudo service nginx restart | |
## now we need an SSL certificate so let’s install lets encrypts client | |
cd /usr/local/sbin | |
sudo wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto | |
## Let’s make it executable and request a cert | |
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/sbin/certbot-auto | |
certbot-auto certonly -a webroot --webroot-path=/var/www/ipfs.bkawk.com -d ipfs2.bkawk.com | |
## Enter an email and agree where you should. Make a note of the cert paths. | |
Generating key (2048 bits): /etc/letsencrypt/keys/0000_key-certbot.pem | |
Creating CSR: /etc/letsencrypt/csr/0000_csr-certbot.pem | |
## Let’s check we got the 4 .pem files we need: | |
sudo ls -l /etc/letsencrypt/live/ipfs2.bkawk.com | |
## We need just one more so let’s run | |
sudo openssl dhparam -out /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem 2048 | |
## After it does its stuff, the last cert will pop out at | |
/etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem. | |
## Ok, back to the nginx config | |
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default | |
## We are looking for the 2 listen lines that look like this | |
listen 80 default_server; | |
listen [::]:80 default_server; | |
## We are going to change them to listen on port 443 | |
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server; | |
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server; | |
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/ipfs2.bkawk.com/fullchain.pem; | |
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/ipfs2.bkawk.com/privkey.pem; | |
ssl_dhparam /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem; | |
## Let’s redirect all requests to https, at the bottom of the file | |
server { | |
listen 80; | |
listen [::]:80; | |
server_name ipfs2.bkawk.com; | |
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; | |
} | |
## Now set the ciphers by editing | |
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf | |
## Add the below line after ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;. | |
ssl_ciphers EECDH+CHACHA20:EECDH+AES128:RSA+AES128:EECDH+AES256:RSA+AES256:EECDH+3DES:RSA+3DES:!MD5; | |
## Let’s test and restart again | |
sudo nginx -t | |
sudo systemctl restart nginx | |
## Finally, browse ipfs2.bkawk.com and make sure you get redirected to https://ipfs2.bkawk.com/ and the site loads. | |
## Almost there, let’s set the cache, back in the config | |
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf | |
## At the end of the http block add | |
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:5m; | |
ssl_session_timeout 1h; | |
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000; includeSubDomains" always; | |
## and restart again | |
sudo systemctl restart nginx |
