## TLS Certificates
## TLS & Reverse Proxy
The Coder server can directly use TLS certificates with `CODER_TLS_ENABLE` and accompanying configuration flags. However, Coder can also run behind a reverse-proxy to terminate TLS certificates from LetsEncrypt, for example.

- Caddy: [Run Coder with Caddy and LetsEncrypt](https://github.com/coder/coder/tree/main/examples/web-server/caddy)
- NGINX: [Run Coder with Nginx and LetsEncrypt](https://github.com/coder/coder/tree/main/examples/web-server/nginx)

# How to use Apache as a reverse-proxy with LetsEncrypt
## Requirements
1. Start a Coder deployment and be sure to set the following [configuration values](https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/admin/configure):
```console
CODER_HTTP_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:3000
CODER_ACCESS_URL=https://coder.example.com
CODER_WILDCARD_ACCESS_URL=*coder.example.com
```
Throughout the guide, be sure to replace `coder.example.com` with the domain you intend to use with Coder.
2. Configure your DNS provider to point your coder.example.com and \*.coder.example.com to your server's public IP address.
> For example, to use `coder.example.com` as your subdomain, configure `coder.example.com` and `*.coder.example.com` to point to your server's public ip. This can be done by adding A records in your DNS provider's dashboard.
3. Install Apache (assuming you're on Debian/Ubuntu):
```console
sudo apt install apache2
```
4. Enable the following Apache modules:
```console
sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo a2enmod rewrite
```
5. Stop Apache service and disable default site:
```console
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo systemctl stop apache2
```
## Install and configure LetsEncrypt Certbot
1. Install LetsEncrypt Certbot: Refer to the [CertBot documentation](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=apache&os=ubuntufocal&tab=wildcard). Be sure to pick the wildcard tab and select your DNS provider for instructions to install the necessary DNS plugin.
## Create DNS provider credentials
> This example assumes you're using CloudFlare as your DNS provider. For other providers, refer to the [CertBot documentation](https://eff-certbot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/using.html#dns-plugins).
1. Create an API token for the DNS provider you're using: e.g. [CloudFlare](https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens) with the following permissions:
- Zone - DNS - Edit
2. Create a file in `.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini` with the following content:
```ini
dns_cloudflare_api_token = YOUR_API_TOKEN
```
```console
mkdir -p ~/.secrets/certbot
touch ~/.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini
nano ~/.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini
```
3. Set the correct permissions:
```console
sudo chmod 600 ~/.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini
```
## Create the certificate
1. Create the wildcard certificate:
```console
sudo certbot certonly --dns-cloudflare --dns-cloudflare-credentials ~/.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini -d coder.example.com -d *.coder.example.com
```
## Configure Apache
> This example assumes Coder is running locally on `127.0.0.1:3000` and that you're using `coder.example.com` as your subdomain.
1. Create Apache configuration for Coder:
```console
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/coder.conf
```
2. Add the following content:
```apache
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName coder.example.com
ServerAlias *.coder.example.com
Redirect permanent / https://coder.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName coder.example.com
ServerAlias *.coder.example.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3000/
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
RewriteEngine On
# Websockets are required for workspace connectivity
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} Upgrade [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*) ws://127.0.0.1:3000/$1 [P,L]
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/coder.example.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/coder.example.com/privkey.pem
</VirtualHost>
```
> Don't forget to change: `coder.example.com` by your (sub)domain
3. Enable the site:
```console
sudo a2ensite coder.conf
```
4. Restart Apache:
```console
sudo systemctl restart apache2
```
## Refresh certificates automatically
1. Create a new file in `/etc/cron.weekly`:
```console
sudo touch /etc/cron.weekly/certbot
```
2. Make it executable:
```console
sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.weekly/certbot
```
3. And add this code:
```sh
#!/bin/sh
sudo certbot renew -q
```
And that's it, you should now be able to access Coder at your sub(domain) e.g. `https://coder.example.com`.
