Dear friends,
Today, we will see a simple migration with less configuration of SSL auto-renewal.
I was using Nginx for SSL auto-renewal using certbot. Every 90 days, the renewal code should run, I made one more service it.
I have come across Caddy, which does an auto-renewal of SSL automatically with certbot. Reducing efforts and making the system smooth.
Follow the steps below
Stop and disable the Nginx
sudo systemctl stop nginx
sudo systemctl disable nginx
Install the Caddy
In EC2, if you are running Amazon Linux, then execute the following to install Caddy.
sudo yum -y install yum-plugin-copr
sudo yum -y copr enable @caddy/caddy epel-8-$(arch)
sudo yum -y install caddy
Edit and configure the Caddyfile
Usually, it will be in the path /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
sudo vi /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
I have only one server that is running locally. So, my configuration is easy
domain_name {
reverse_proxy localhost:port
}
You can configure more with your existing Nginx sites-enabled reference.
Happy SSLing.
