+ # Set Up HTTPS
+
+ LubeLogger runs on Kestrel, which is a cross-platform standalone web server provided by .NET
+
+ If you're running LubeLogger behind a reverse proxy(i.e. NGINX), then this walkthrough does not apply to you since the SSL certs will be served up by NGINX instead of Kestrel.
+
+ This article covers the step-by-step process to set up HTTPS for a LubeLogger instance.
+
+ ## Docker
+ If you're running LubeLogger on a Docker instance, first read [this article by Microsoft](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/docker-compose-https?view=aspnetcore-8.0)
+
+ 1. Convert the .PEM / .CRT files into .PFX, read [this StackOverflow post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/808669/convert-a-cert-pem-certificate-to-a-pfx-certificate)
+ 2. Open and modify the .env file and add the following lines(note that in this example I used bob as the password for the cert)
+ ```
+ ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password=bob
+ ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=/https/<yourPFXCertificateName>.pfx
+ ASPNETCORE_URLS=https://+:443;http://+:80
+ ```
+ 3. Open and modify docker-compose.yml. You will need to bind a new volume to the Docker container so that Kestrel can access the certificate file.
+ ```
+ volumes:
+ - ~/https/:/https:ro
+ ```
+ 4. Run `docker-compose up -d` to start up the container and https://localhost will now have a valid cert.
+
+ ## Windows
+ If you're running LubeLogger as the standalone Windows executable, first read [this article by Microsoft](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/servers/kestrel/endpoints?view=aspnetcore-8.0#configure-https-in-appsettingsjson)
+
+ 1. Convert the .PEM / .CRT files into .PFX, read [this StackOverflow post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/808669/convert-a-cert-pem-certificate-to-a-pfx-certificate)
+ 2. Open and modify appsettings.json located in the same directory as the CarCareTracker executable and add the following lines(note that in this example I used bob as the password for the cert)
+ ```
+ "Kestrel": {
+ "Endpoints": {
+ "Http": {
+ "Url": "http://localhost:80"
+ },
+ "HttpsInlineCertFile": {
+ "Url": "https://localhost:443",
+ "Certificate": {
+ "Path": "<path to .pfx file>",
+ "Password": "bob"
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+ 3. Restart the app and https://localhost will now have a valid cert.
