# 🔒 HTTPS/SSL Setup Complete! ✅
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎉 Your Site is Now Secure
|
||||
|
||||
**Access your site with HTTPS:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **<https://houseofprayer.ddns.net>** (Secure!)
|
||||
- ✅ HTTP automatically redirects to HTTPS
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ What Was Fixed
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. SSL Certificate Installed
|
||||
|
||||
- **Provider:** Let's Encrypt (Free, Auto-Renews)
|
||||
- **Certificate Location:** `/etc/letsencrypt/live/houseofprayer.ddns.net/`
|
||||
- **Expiration:** March 16, 2026 (Auto-renewal enabled)
|
||||
- **Auto-Renewal:** Certbot scheduled task runs twice daily
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. API Configuration Fixed for Other Devices
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Settings page was hardcoded to use `port 8080`, causing "Offline" errors on other devices
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Updated [frontend/src/api.js](frontend/src/api.js) to:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Auto-detect protocol (http/https) from current page
|
||||
- ✅ Remove port number when accessing via DNS hostname
|
||||
- ✅ Keep port 8080 only for localhost development
|
||||
- ✅ Nginx reverse proxy handles all routing
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. How It Works Now
|
||||
|
||||
**Localhost (Development):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// When accessing http://localhost:5100
|
||||
API URL: http://localhost:8080/api
|
||||
Settings: { protocol: "http", hostname: "localhost", port: "8080" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**DNS Hostname (Production):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// When accessing https://houseofprayer.ddns.net
|
||||
API URL: https://houseofprayer.ddns.net/api
|
||||
Settings: { protocol: "https", hostname: "houseofprayer.ddns.net", port: "" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** Other devices connect to your DNS hostname without port numbers!
|
||||

|
||||
## 📱 How Other Devices Connect Now
|
||||
|
||||
### Before (Broken)
|
||||
|
||||
❌ Devices tried: `http://houseofprayer.ddns.net:8080/api`
|
||||
|
||||
- Port 8080 not forwarded on router
|
||||
- Devices showed "Offline"
|
||||
|
||||
### After (Fixed)
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Devices use: `https://houseofprayer.ddns.net/api`
|
||||
|
||||
- Nginx on port 443 (HTTPS) handles requests
|
||||
- Port 443 forwarded on router → Works everywhere!
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🧪 Verified Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# ✅ HTTPS Homepage
|
||||
curl -I https://houseofprayer.ddns.net
|
||||
# Result: HTTP/2 200 OK
|
||||
|
||||
# ✅ HTTPS API
|
||||
curl -s https://houseofprayer.ddns.net/api/health
|
||||
# Result: {"status":"ok","ts":"2025-12-16T03:58:13.530451"}
|
||||
|
||||
# ✅ HTTP Auto-Redirects to HTTPS
|
||||
curl -I http://houseofprayer.ddns.net
|
||||
# Result: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently → HTTPS
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Nginx Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Certbot automatically updated `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/church-music`:
|
||||
|
||||
```nginx
|
||||
server {
|
||||
server_name houseofprayer.ddns.net;
|
||||
|
||||
# Frontend
|
||||
location / {
|
||||
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5100;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Backend API
|
||||
location /api/ {
|
||||
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
listen 443 ssl; # HTTPS
|
||||
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/houseofprayer.ddns.net/fullchain.pem;
|
||||
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/houseofprayer.ddns.net/privkey.pem;
|
||||
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
|
||||
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
server {
|
||||
# Redirect HTTP → HTTPS
|
||||
if ($host = houseofprayer.ddns.net) {
|
||||
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
listen 80;
|
||||
server_name houseofprayer.ddns.net;
|
||||
return 404;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🌐 Router Port Forwarding Required
|
||||
|
||||
**⚠️ CRITICAL:** Forward these ports on your router:
|
||||
|
||||
| External Port | Internal IP | Internal Port | Protocol |
|
||||
|---------------|-------------|---------------|----------|
|
||||
| 80 (HTTP) | 192.168.10.130 | 80 | TCP |
|
||||
| 443 (HTTPS) | 192.168.10.130 | 443 | TCP |
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Port 443?**
|
||||
|
||||
- HTTPS uses port 443 (not 8080!)
|
||||
- Nginx listens on 443 and proxies to backend port 8080
|
||||
- Devices connect to HTTPS without specifying port
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 📱 Testing on Other Devices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **From Your Local Network:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Open browser on phone/tablet:
|
||||
https://houseofprayer.ddns.net
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **From Outside Network (Internet):**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Requires port forwarding setup first!
|
||||
https://houseofprayer.ddns.net
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. **Check Settings Page:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://houseofprayer.ddns.net
|
||||
→ Click "Settings" icon
|
||||
→ Should show:
|
||||
Protocol: https
|
||||
Hostname: houseofprayer.ddns.net
|
||||
Port: (empty)
|
||||
Status: ✅ Connected
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔒 SSL Certificate Auto-Renewal
|
||||
|
||||
Certbot automatically renews certificates:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check renewal status
|
||||
sudo certbot renew --dry-run
|
||||
|
||||
# View renewal timer
|
||||
sudo systemctl status certbot.timer
|
||||
|
||||
# Manual renewal (if needed)
|
||||
sudo certbot renew
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Certificate expires:** March 16, 2026
|
||||
**Auto-renewal:** Runs twice daily
|
||||
**You don't need to do anything!** 🎉

## 🔍 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "Site Can't Be Reached" from Outside Network
|
||||
|
||||
- Check router port forwarding (ports 80 & 443)
|
||||
- Verify DNS points to your current public IP
|
||||
- Test: `curl -I https://houseofprayer.ddns.net` from server
|
||||
|
||||
### Settings Show "Offline"
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open browser DevTools (F12)
|
||||
2. Go to Application → Storage → Local Storage
|
||||
3. Delete `api_settings` entry
|
||||
4. Refresh page
|
||||
5. Should auto-detect HTTPS DNS hostname
|
||||
|
||||
### SSL Certificate Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure DNS hostname matches certificate
|
||||
- Check certificate not expired: `sudo certbot certificates`
|
||||
- Verify firewall allows port 443
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend API Not Working
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test backend directly
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8080/api/health
|
||||
|
||||
# Test via Nginx
|
||||
curl https://localhost/api/health
|
||||
|
||||
# Check service status
|
||||
sudo systemctl status church-music-backend
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
