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.

# How to use Apache as a reverse-proxy with LetsEncrypt
2+
3+
## Requirements
4+
5+
1. Start a Coder deployment and be sure to set the following [configuration values](https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/admin/configure):
6+
7+
```console
8+
CODER_HTTP_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:3000
9+
CODER_ACCESS_URL=https://coder.example.com
10+
CODER_WILDCARD_ACCESS_URL=*coder.example.com
11+
```
12+
13+
Throughout the guide, be sure to replace `coder.example.com` with the domain you intend to use with Coder.
14+
15+
2. Configure your DNS provider to point your coder.example.com and \*.coder.example.com to your server's public IP address.
16+
17+
> 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.
18+
19+
3. Install Apache (assuming you're on Debian/Ubuntu):
20+
21+
```console
22+
sudo apt install apache2
23+
```
24+
25+
4. Enable the following Apache modules:
26+
27+
```console
28+
sudo a2enmod proxy
29+
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
30+
sudo a2enmod ssl
31+
sudo a2enmod rewrite
32+
```
33+
34+
5. Stop Apache service and disable default site:
35+
36+
```console
37+
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
38+
sudo systemctl stop apache2
39+
```
40+
41+
## Install and configure LetsEncrypt Certbot
42+
43+
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.
44+
45+
## Create DNS provider credentials
46+
47+
> 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).
48+
49+
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:
50+
51+
- Zone - DNS - Edit
52+
53+
2. Create a file in `.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini` with the following content:
54+
55+
```ini
56+
dns_cloudflare_api_token = YOUR_API_TOKEN
57+
```
58+
59+
```console
60+
mkdir -p ~/.secrets/certbot
61+
touch ~/.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini
62+
nano ~/.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini
63+
```
64+
65+
3. Set the correct permissions:
66+
67+
```console
68+
sudo chmod 600 ~/.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini
69+
```
70+
71+
## Create the certificate
72+
73+
1. Create the wildcard certificate:
74+
75+
```console
76+
sudo certbot certonly --dns-cloudflare --dns-cloudflare-credentials ~/.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini -d coder.example.com -d *.coder.example.com
77+
```
78+
79+
## Configure Apache
80+
81+
> This example assumes Coder is running locally on `127.0.0.1:3000` and that you're using `coder.example.com` as your subdomain.
82+
83+
1. Create Apache configuration for Coder:
84+
85+
```console
86+
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/coder.conf
87+
```
88+
89+
2. Add the following content:
90+
91+
```apache
92+
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
93+
<VirtualHost *:80>
94+
ServerName coder.example.com
95+
ServerAlias *.coder.example.com
96+

97+
</VirtualHost>
98+
99+

109+

112+
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} Upgrade [NC]
113+
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]
114+
RewriteRule /(.*) ws://127.0.0.1:3000/$1 [P,L]
115+
116+
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/coder.example.com/fullchain.pem
117+
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/coder.example.com/privkey.pem
118+
</VirtualHost>
119+
```
120+
121+
> Don't forget to change: `coder.example.com` by your (sub)domain
122+
123+
3. Enable the site:
124+
125+
```console
126+
sudo a2ensite coder.conf
127+
```
128+
129+
4. Restart Apache:
130+
131+
```console
132+
sudo systemctl restart apache2
133+
```
134+
135+
## Refresh certificates automatically
136+
137+
1. Create a new file in `/etc/cron.weekly`:
138+
139+
```console
140+
sudo touch /etc/cron.weekly/certbot
141+
```
142+
143+
2. Make it executable:
144+
145+
```console
146+
sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.weekly/certbot
147+
```
148+
149+
3. And add this code:
150+
151+
```sh
152+
#!/bin/sh
153+
sudo certbot renew -q
154+
```
155+
156+
And that's it, you should now be able to access Coder at your sub(domain) e.g. `https://coder.example.com`.
